The two ground floor French doors would provide private access into St Mary's Burial Ground, a designated community open space. This would undermine its public character and function, contrary to Policy G1 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy 7D of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).

The three French doors would introduce large, glazed openings that appear incongruous in the traditional and historic setting of St Mary's Burial Ground, within the Acton Town Centre Conservation Area. This would result in less than substantial harm to the setting of the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh the harm. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policies D3, D4, and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policies 7.4, 7B, and 7C of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013) and Policy DAA of the Ealing Draft Local Plan (Regulation 22).
