Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site would be suitable for residential development having regard to its location and the amount of development

What decided it

The proposed single-storey dwelling would fail to integrate sympathetically with the established pattern of two-storey development on Meadow Drive and would harmfully contribute to incongruent form and appearance, conflicting with development plan policies and the Framework's requirement for developments to be sympathetic to local character.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy CS5 of Barnet's Local Plan Core Strategy, Policy DM01 of Barnet's Local Plan Development Management Policies, Policy CDH01 of the Barnet Local Plan 2021 to 2036
