Mr Mike Burroughs the agent for the applicant, addressed the Committee.

 

Further to a discussion of the item, Councillor Marshall moved a motion, seconded by Councillor Rawlings, that the application be refused for the following reasons:

 

1. The proposed development by reason of its size, siting, scale and excessive height would diminish views of the Grade II listed Church building as viewed from the public realm looking north up Finchley Road and Hoop Lane. The proposal would be harmful to the historic form and setting of the Church building and detract from the character and appearance of the area.  As such, the proposed development would be contrary to policy D1 of the London Plan (2021); policy CS5 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (2012); policies DM01 and DM06 of the Barnet Local Plan Development Management Policies DPD (2012) and the NPPF (2021).

 

2. The proposal due to its lack of adequate outdoor amenity space for all proposed units and the absence of suitable play space would provide an unacceptably poor level of amenity for future occupiers of the units. The proposed development would be contrary to policies D6 and S4 of the London Plan (2021); CS1 and CS5 of Barnet's Adopted Core Strategy (2012), policies DM01 and DM02 of the Adopted Development Management Policies DPD (2012); the Council's Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016); Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016); and the NPPF (2021).
