It was moved by Councillor Sowerby and seconded by Councillor Roberts that the Officer’s recommendation be overturned and that the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

The proposed dwelling by reason of its size and siting would be a cramped and incongruous form of development on a restricted site detrimental to the character and appearance of the area and the streetscene, contrary to policies to the Council's policies CS NPPF, CS1 and CS5 of the Barnet's Local Plan (Core Strategy) DPD (September 2012) and Policy DM01 of the Barnet's Local Plan (Development Management Policies) DPD (September 2012).
