Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers of the flats, with particular regards to internal living space and access to external amenity space

What decided it

Flat 2's substandard ceiling heights in the loft space and insufficient external amenity space would result in poor quality accommodation negatively impacting future occupiers' use and enjoyment, conflicting with development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021, Policy CS4 of the Barnet Local Plan (Core Strategy) Development Plan Document 2012, Policy DM01 of the Barnet Local Plan (Development Management Policies) Development Plan Document 2012, Policy DM02 of the Barnet Local Plan (Development Management Policies) Development Plan Document 2012
