Delegated decision: Refused · Emily Bell
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development would by reason of its size, scale, mass, bulk and
design constitute an overly dominant, disproportionate and visually obtrusive
addition which would fail to acceptably integrate into the streetscene, having an
adverse impact to the character and appearance of the host site, the streetscene
and failing to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Totteridge
Conservation Area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy D3 of the
London Plan (2021), policies DM01 and DM06 of the Barnet Local Plan
Development Management Policies (Adopted September 2012), policies CS NPPF,
CS1 and CS5 of the Barnet Local Plan Core Strategy (Adopted September 2012),
policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021), the principles of the National Planning Policy
Framework (2023) and the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016).
2
The proposed development, by reason of its height, scale, depth and relationship to
the neighbouring property, no. 34 Totteridge Village, would unduly obstruct the
outlook when viewed from the neighbouring habitable windows, detrimental to the
residential amenities of this neighbouring occupier, contrary to Policy CS5 of
Barnet's Adopted Core Strategy (2012), Policy DM01 of the Adopted Development
Management Policies DPD (2012) and the Adopted Residential Design Guidance
SPD (2016).
3
The proposed development would lead to a Biodiversity Net Loss across the site
and the application fails to provide sufficient information in the form of a valid
Statutory Biodiversity Metric under section 3, Schedule 7a of the TCA 1990. In the
absence of a completed Biodiversity Net Gain calculation using the Statutory Small
Site Metric and sufficient clarification as to how the development can feasibly meet
its Biodiversity Net Gain obligations. 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 enhancement, and it is
considered that the proposed development could fail to secure biodiversity net gain,
contrary to Schedule 7a of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, Policy G6 of
the London Plan (2021), Policies CS NPPF and CS7 of Barnet's Local Plan Core
Strategy DPD (2012) and Policies DM01 and DM16 of the Adopted Development
Management Policies DPD (2012).
