Representations were heard from Mr Kevin Green (representing the Mill Hill Preservation Society), the applicant’s agent, Tracey Rust.

A vote was taken on the Officer’s recommendation to approve the application as follows: 

The Chairman used her casting vote to vote against approving the application.

1. The development, by reason of the size and siting of the proposed house, would fail to maintain the openness of the green belt and would therefore be an inappropriate form of development within the Green Belt for which no very special circumstances have been demonstrated. The development would therefore be to contrary to Policies 7.4 and 7.6 of the London Plan (2016), policies CS NPPF, CS1 and CS7 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (adopted September 2012), Policies DM01 and DM15 of Barnet's Local Plan Development Management Policies (Adopted September 2012), and paragraphs 89 and 90 of the National Planning Policy Framework Published 2012.

2. The development, by reason of the size, siting and design of the proposed house, would fail to respect its semi-rural green belt location and would be harmful to the character and appearance of the locality, contrary to policies CS NPPF, CS1 and CS7 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (adopted September 2012), Policies DM01 and DM15 of Barnet's Local Plan Development Management Policies (Adopted September 2012).
