Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The front boundary wall and proposed metal gates would by reason of their size,
siting, fully enclosed design, appearance and excessive height represent a
dominant and incongruous addition to the property which would be out of keeping
with the established character and appearance of the street scene of Uphill Road.
The application is therefore found to be unacceptable and contrary to policies D3 of
The London Plan (2021), and policy CDH01 of the Barnet's local development plan
(adopted March 2025).
2
The proposal is expected to have a detrimental impact on the surrounding highway
network in the way of potentially causing a visual obstruction to drivers/road users,
as well as reducing visibility, potentially causing harm to both drivers and
pedestrians, contradicting policy TRC01 of Barnet's local development plan
(adopted March 2025).
