Why it was refused

  1. The submitted hard and soft landscaping details, including the General Arrangement, Planting Plan, Hard Landscape Details, and Planting Schedule materially deviate from the approved Biodiversity Gain Plan and the associated Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP). Furthermore, the submitted addendum to the Arboricultural Method Statement introduces new measures which cannot be considered under a condition discharge application for a compliance condition. As such, the scheme fails to achieve an acceptable standard of landscaping and biodiversity enhancement and fails to ensure that the development encompasses sustainability, makes a positive contribution to biodiversity and enhances the appearance of the development in accordance with Policies CDH01, CDH07 and ECC07 of the Barnet Local Plan (adopted March 2025), Policy G7 of the London Plan (2021), and the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016)

From the council's decision notice.
