Demolition of two existing semi-detached houses and construction of a two storey building with rooms in the roofspace comprising of 6no. self-contained flats. Associated cycle storage, parking, refuse and recycling and amenity area
The proposed building comprising 6no. two storey self-contained flats would, by reason of its size, massing and design as well as location on a corner plot, result in an incongruous form of development, appearing cramped within the streetscene and at odds with the established pattern of development and out of keeping with the prevailing character of the area. It would thus be detrimental to the character and appearance of this part of the streetscene and the surrounding area contrary to Policy CS5 of the LB Barnet Local Plan Core Strategy (adopted 2012), Policy DM01 of the LB Barnet Local Plan Development Management Policies DPD (adopted 2012), Policy CDH01 of the LB Barnet (draft) Local Plan (Regulation 25 Stage), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and the LB Barnet Residential Design Guidance SPD (adopted 2016).
The proposed development would fail to provide an adequate level of outdoor amenity space for the proposed units, particularly Flats 1 and 2 to the detriment of the amenity and living conditions of future occupiers. The application is therefore considered unacceptable and contrary to Policies DM01 and DM02 of LB Barnet's Development Management Policies Document DPD (2012), Policy CDH01 and CDH07 of the LB Barnet (draft) Local Plan (Regulation 25 Stage), Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), Barnet's Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016) and Barnet's Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016).
