Delegated decision: Refused · Christian Gonito
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed two storey side extension, by reason of its size, siting and design,
would appear unduly obtrusive and incongruous and an unsympathetic form of
development to the detriment of the character and appearance of the host property
and terrace of which it forms part and failing to preserve or enhance the character
and appearance of the Watling Estate conservation area, contrary to Policies D3
and HC1 of the London Plan (2021); Policies CDH01, CDH05 and CDH08 of
Barnet's Local Plan (adopted March 2025) and the Residential Design Guidance
SPD (2016).
