The proposed development, by reason of its scale, siting in a residential area and its use, would cause undue noise and disturbance and would be out of keeping with the surrounding residential area , to the detriment of the residential amenities of the occupiers of neighbouring properties. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies CS NPPF, CS1 and CS5 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (adopted September 2012), Policy DM01 and DM14 of the Development Management Policies DPD (adopted September 2012), and the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016).

The proposed development would by reason of its height, siting and elevated position due to the levels of the site, appear as a prominent and visually obtrusive feature when viewed from the adjacent listed building, Christ Church. Further, insufficient and inaccurate information has been provided with regards to the impacts of the proposed development on the structural integrity of the adjacent listed building. The proposal would therefore have significant adverse impacts on the adjacent statutory listed building, contrary to Policy CS5 of Barnet's Core Strategy DPD (2012); Policies DM01, DM06 and DM18 of Barnet's Development Management Policies DPD (2012) and the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (2023).
