Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The three-storey development, by reason of its height, scale and proximity, would
result in a deleteriously harmful sense of enclosure and loss of outlook to the
residents at No.51E Station Road, contrary to Policies CS1 and CS5 of the Local
Plan Core Strategy (adopted September 2012), Policies DM01 and DM09 of the
Development Management Policies DPD (adopted September 2012), the
Residential Design Guidance SPD (adopted 2016) and the Sustainable Design and
Construction SPD (adopted 2016).
2
The proposal fails to comply with the Councils relevant housing standards for
HMOs by lack of internal space in Rooms T3, T5, T6 and T7
and would therefore provide substandard accommodation detrimental to the
residential amenity of future occupiers, contrary to the requirements of Policy CS5 of
the Barnet's Local Plan (Core Strategy) , Policy DM09 of Barnet's Local Plan
(Development Management Policies) DPD (both adopted September 2012), the London
Plan (2021), Sustainable Design SPD and the Residential Design Guidance (both
adopted 2016).
3
No on-site parking is proposed to serve the proposed development. The
development fails to provide a legal undertaking to enable an amendment to the
Traffic Management Order that regulates the Controlled Parking Zone, to address
the highway impacts of the development. This is contrary to policy CS9 of the
Adopted Barnet Core Strategy (2012) and policy DM17 of the Adopted Barnet
Development Management Policies DPD (2012).
