51F Station Road London NW4 4PN
Demolition of the existing HMO building and construction of a three storey building to provide 8 bedroom HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) and 1no. self contained flat. Associated refuse storage and cycle parking facilities.
The three-storey development, by reason of its height, scale and proximity, would result in a deleteriously harmful sense of enclosure and loss of outlook to the residents at No.51E Station Road, contrary to Policies CS1 and CS5 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (adopted September 2012), Policies DM01 and DM09 of the Development Management Policies DPD (adopted September 2012), the Residential Design Guidance SPD (adopted 2016) and the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (adopted 2016).
The proposal fails to comply with the Councils relevant housing standards for HMOs by lack of internal space in Rooms T3, T5, T6 and T7 and would therefore provide substandard accommodation detrimental to the residential amenity of future occupiers, contrary to the requirements of Policy CS5 of the Barnet's Local Plan (Core Strategy) , Policy DM09 of Barnet's Local Plan (Development Management Policies) DPD (both adopted September 2012), the London Plan (2021), Sustainable Design SPD and the Residential Design Guidance (both adopted 2016).
No on-site parking is proposed to serve the proposed development. The development fails to provide a legal undertaking to enable an amendment to the Traffic Management Order that regulates the Controlled Parking Zone, to address the highway impacts of the development. This is contrary to policy CS9 of the Adopted Barnet Core Strategy (2012) and policy DM17 of the Adopted Barnet Development Management Policies DPD (2012).
