Rear Of 36 Alan Drive Barnet EN5 2PP

1. 1.The proposed dwelling, by reason of its size, siting, form and function, would constitute a cramped form of development on the site, at odds with the established pattern of development and detrimental to the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CDH01 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025) and guidance contained within the Local Plan Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Design Guidance October 2016.
2. 2.The proposed development and introduction of a residential dwelling at the rear of the garden would result in mutual overlooking and loss of privacy for the occupiers of No 36 Alan Drive, as well as introduce a level of noise and disturbance at the rear of the site, which would materially prejudice the residential amenities of neighbouring occupiers, contrary to the expectations of Policies CDH01 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025).
3. 3.The proposed development, by reason of the mutual overlooking and lack of privacy, would result in a sub-standard form of residential accommodation, detrimental to the amenity of future occupants. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CDH01 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025), and the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016).
4. 4.The proposed development would be located in an area at risk of surface water flooding, and is classified as 'More Vulnerable' development. In the absence of a Site-Specific Flood Risk Assessment, it is not possible for the Local Planning Authority to determine whether the occupiers and users would remain safe from current and future surface water flood risk for the lifetime of the development, nor whether the proposed development would result in an increased risk of flooding elsewhere, contrary to Policy ECC03 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025), Policy SI 12 of the London Plan (2021) and Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024 as amended).
