Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- whether the proposal provides adequate living conditions for future occupants with regard to privacy and space standards
- the effect of the proposal on the housing mix of the area
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for car parking
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with multiple development plan policies regarding character and appearance, living conditions for future occupants, and housing mix, with no material considerations sufficient to outweigh these harms.
Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of The London Plan (2021), Policy CDH01 of the Barnet Local Plan 2021-2036 (2025), Policy CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan 2021-2036 (2025), Policy HOU03 of the Barnet Local Plan 2021-2036 (2025), Policy D6 of The London Plan (2021), Policy TRC03 of the Barnet Local Plan 2021-2036 (2025), Policy T4 of The London Plan (2021), Policy T6.1 of The London Plan (2021)
