Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of the design, width and massing of the first floor rear extension, and its proximity to the shared boundary and windows at No. 18 Clifton Gardens, would result in undue loss of natural light and outlook to the first floor dining/kitchen room belonging to the first floor flat which faces the extension, and undue loss of natural light to the ground floor study room belonging to the ground floor flat of the same building, to the detriment of the amenity of occupiers of these neighbouring flats, contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan, Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025) and Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
