Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
Whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for the intended future occupiers with particular regards to internal ceiling height

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on two independent grounds: harm to character and appearance through excessive bulk and projection, and failure to meet minimum ceiling height standards required by London Plan Policy D6.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS5 of the Barnet Local Plan Core Strategy (2012), Policy DM01 of the Barnet Local Plan Development Management Policies (2012), Policy DM02 of the Barnet Local Plan Development Management Policies (2012), Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021, Policy D3 of the London Plan

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
