The proposed use of the land for the siting of a caravan/mobile home as a residential dwelling, by reason of its design, materials, siting and use, would fail to respond sensitively to the established building form, pattern of development, scale and massing, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the application site and surrounding area, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CDH01 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025) and the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016)

In the absence of a car parking survey, refuse/recycling strategy and a legal agreement, insufficient information has been provided to enable the Local Planning Authority to properly assess that the development would not result in a heightened level of parking pressure and congestion, to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety and the free-flow of traffic, contrary to Policies T4, T6 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy TRC03 of the Local Plan (2025)

In the absence of a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal or Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment and calculation using the Statutory Small Site Metric to demonstrate 10% Net Gain above the baseline of the site, insufficient information has been submitted to determine how the proposed development would protect and enhance biodiversity. As such, insufficient information has been submitted to enable the LPA to properly assess its impact in accordance with its duty under Section 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 or determine an acceptable level of mitigation, and it is considered that the proposed development could cause potential undue harm to wildlife and protected species and fail to secure net biodiversity gain, contrary to Schedule 7a of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, Policy G6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies ECC07 of the Local Plan (2025).

The proposed development, by virtue of its location and lack of surveillance of the means of access, would fail to provide a safe and secure environment, reduce opportunities for crime and help minimise the fear of crime and insufficient information has been provided, including supporting information, safe accessibility, daily operation requirements, lack of crime prevention measures and existing issues, such as anti-social behaviour, theft and violent offences, to properly assess the impact of the proposal within this specific area, to the detriment of the residential amenities of future occupiers, contrary to Policies D3 and D11 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CDH01 and CHW03 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025) and Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act (1988)
