Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site would be suitable for the proposed development, having regard to its Public Transport Access Level (PTAL) rating and the development plan
What decided it
The appeal site's PTAL rating of 1b indicating very poor accessibility to public transport means the proposal would not accord with Policy HOU03 of the Barnet Local Plan 2021-2036, and the modest housing benefits do not outweigh this significant adverse impact.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HOU03Policy H1 of the London Plan (March 2021)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
