It was moved by Councillor Williams and seconded by Councillor Roberts that

the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

 

1.The proposed roof extensions by reason of their size siting, scale, appearance, design and relationship to adjacent neighbouring buildings  would relate unsympathetically resulting in an unduly obtrusive and unsympathetic form of development which would adversely impact upon the character and appearance of the street scene and the wider area as such the proposal would be contrary to policies National Planning Policy Framework,  Policy 7.4 of the London Plan (2016), DM01 (Protecting Barnet's character and amenity) of the Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (September 2012), policy CS5 (Protecting and enhancing Barnet's character to create high quality spaces) of the Local Plan Core Strategy  (September 2012), and contrary to the Local Plan Supplementary Planning Document Residential Design Guidance (April 2013).

 

2.The proposed roof extensions by reason of their size siting, scale, design and their excessive rearward projection would result in a harmful loss of outlook detrimental to the visual and residential amenities of the occupiers of the upper floor flats at No. 1321 High Road particularly when viewed from their rear windows. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Barnet’s Local Plan Development Management policies DM01 and DM02 and Supplementary Residential Design Guidance 2012.
