Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and area

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and area by introducing an incongruous gable end that would disrupt the distinctive symmetry and uniformity of the Barn Close street scene, conflicting with development plan policies requiring development to respond positively to local distinctiveness.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy 7.4 of the Ealing Development Management Development Plan Document 2013, Policy 7B of the Ealing Development Management Development Plan Document 2013
