Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to outlook

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area and to the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to outlook, which are not outweighed by the minor housing benefit.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy CDH01 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025), Policy CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025)
