Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on its surroundings
The effect of the proposed development on the residential amenities of neighbours (whether unacceptable harm would be caused by increased disturbance)

What decided it

The imposition of conditions restricting the outbuilding to ancillary use only and controlling access through the main house made the proposal acceptable in terms of both visual impact and neighbour amenities.

The benefits of providing useful additional accommodation to the dwelling, in a sustainable urban location, outweighed any concerns about visual impact and neighbour disturbance, provided the use was restricted to ancillary purposes by condition.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CS5 of Barnet's Local Plan (Core Strategy) DPDPolicy DM01 of Barnet's Local Plan (Development Management Policies) DPD
