Scheme description

Single storey rear extension with 3no. rooflights following demolition of the existing conservatory. Conversion of the existing garage into habitable room, insertion of window to replace the garage door. First floor side extension with 1no. front and rear rooflight

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposal, by reason of the size, siting, design, scale and overall bulk of the proposed extensions would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the host site and wider locality. The proposed first floor side extension would also appear cramped and result in a terracing effect which would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the streetscene. The proposals would therefore be contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CHD01 and CDH05 of the adopted Barnet Local Plan (2025) and the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016).

Reason 2

The proposed single storey rear extension, by reason of its depth, size, bulk, design and siting, would appear as an overbearing form of development, resulting in an undue loss of outlook, overshadowing and result in an increased sense of enclosure to No. 6 Coverdale Road. The proposal is therefore considered to be detrimental to the residential amenities of the neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CHD01 and CDH05 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025) and the LB Barnet Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016).
