Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of a justification of need, the use results in the loss of a family dwelling for which there is known demand and by reason of introducing an over- intensive use incongruous to the established character of the area, which is characterised predominantly by single family dwelling houses, would undermine the strategic approach which otherwise prioritises meeting needs for family housing, harmfully contribute towards change in the function and character of the street and be incongruous to the established settled residential pattern in the area, to the detriment of the character and amenity of the locality and contrary to Policy D3, D14 of the London Plan (2021), Polices CDH01, HOU04 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025), the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016) and the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016).
  2. The proposed House in Multiple Occupation would result in an over-intensive use that would harmfully increase noise, disturbance, congestion and disruption to neighbouring residents through increased comings-and-goings and associated general activity and have an adverse effect on residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers, in particular No. 45 and 41 Fallow Court Avenue, contrary to Policies D3 and D14 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CDH01, HOU04 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025), the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016) and the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016).
  3. In the absence of details showing the potential location of cycle storage facilities alongside the provision of cycle parking, insufficient information has been provided to enable the Local Planning Authority to properly assess that the appropriate number of secure cycle parking spaces, by reason of the size, design and siting of any enclosure and potential visual clutter when taken together with necessary refuse storage, can be provided to the front or side of the property in accordance with the London Plan Cycle Parking Standards and London Cycle Design Standards, without resulting in an unduly visually obtrusive and incongruous form of development, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the host property, the street scene and surrounding area, contrary to Policies D3 and T5 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CDH01 and TRC03 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025), the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016) and the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016).

From the council's decision notice.
