PL/2606/24

- The proposed building by reason of its excessive depth, bulk and siting would result in an inappropriate design and form of development that would constitute overdevelopment of the site and would be incongruous and at odds with the character of the area and the prevailing pattern of development in the streetscene, contrary to the high quality design aspirations of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policy D3 (D 1) and (D 11) of The London Plan (2021), Core Policy CS1.B of the Harrow Core Strategy (2012), policy DM 1 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013) and the adopted Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Design Guide (2010).

- The proposal, by reason of excessive sub-division of the rear amenity space, the isolated nature of the amenity space from the proposed building and its poor quality access arrangements from the main building to the communal amenity space would be at odds with the prevailing pattern of existing development in the area, result in a poor quality residential environment for future occupiers and would be contrary to the high quality design aspirations of National Planning Policy Framework (2023), Policies D3 (D1) and (D11) of The London Plan (2021), Core Policy CS1.B of The Harrow Core Strategy (2012) and Policies DM1 and DM27 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013).

- The proposal would result in a net loss of biodiversity found on site and no mitigation measures have been submitted to either address the loss or to secure a net gain in biodiversity on site. As such, the proposal would be detrimental to the local area and environment, contrary to Policy G6 of the London Plan (2021), Core Policy CS1.E of The Harrow Core Strategy (2012) and Policy DM20 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013).
