Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regards to the size and scale of the 2 side dormers.

What decided it

The proposed dormers would be subordinate features consistent with neighbouring properties and would not be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy CS5 of the Barnet Local Plan (Core Strategy) Development Plan Document, Policy DM01 of the Barnet Local Plan (Development Management Policies) Development Plan Document

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
