Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 31 Fernhurst Gardens and 28-38 Hillside Drive (even) with particular regard to outlook, sense of enclosure and light

What decided it

The proposed building's substantial height and bulk would create an unwelcome visual intrusion and over-dominant impact on neighbouring residential amenity that conflicts with development plan policies protecting character and living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of The London Plan, Policy CS NPPF of Barnet's Local Plan (Core Strategy), Policy CS1 of Barnet's Local Plan (Core Strategy), Policy CS5 of Barnet's Local Plan (Core Strategy), Policy DM01 of Barnet's Local Plan (Development Management Policies), Policy D6 of The London Plan
