73 - 77 Brent Street London NW4 2EA
Single storey rear extension at second floor to create an additional office floorspace (Use Class E(g))
The proposed development, by reason of its size, siting, and bulk would appear unduly overbearing and visually obtrusive, and result in loss of outlook and increased sense of enclosure to the occupants of the second-floor rear-facing flats, no.s 1 and 3, at the host site and of the C1 block in the Fosters redevelopment to the detriment of the residential amenities of neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CS5 of the LB Barnet: Local Plan (Core Strategy) DPD (2012) and Policy DM01 of the LB Barnet: Local Plan (Development Management Policies) DPD (2012).
The applicant has failed to provide a satisfactory noise impact assessment to demonstrate that the development would not result in unacceptable nuisance to amenities of residents. In the absence of adequate mitigation measures, the proposal would likely have detrimental impact on the amenities of the occupiers of the surrounding residential properties. As such the proposal fails to comply with the NPPF, Policy CS5 of the Local Plan Core Strategy and Policy DM01, DM02 and DM04 of the Adopted Local Plan Development Management Policies DPD and Sustainable Design and Construction SPD.
