17 Alyth Gardens London NW11 7EN

1. 1.Notwithstanding the provision of a three bedroom flat, the proposed development would result in the loss of a house in single family occupation in a road that is largely characterised by single family housing and the proposed refuse and cycle store, by reason of their siting within the small front amenity space of the property would result in a cluttered appearance along the front elevation, which would harm the street scene of Alyth Gardens. The proposal would therefore be out of keeping within the street and would fail to respond sensitively to the established pattern of development, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), policies HOU03 and CDH01 of Barnet's Local Plan (2025) and the Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD (June 2026).
2. 2.The proposed development would fail to provide adequate access to the private amenity space for flat 2 on the first/loft floor, resulting in a poor standard of accommodation to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers, contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CDH07 and HOU03 of Barnet's Local Development Plan (Adopted March 2025) and the Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD (June 2026).
3. 3.The waste plan shows insufficient refuse provision, as well as poor siting of the refuse store, demonstrating that the refuse/recycling collection would not be feasible, as such, the proposed development does not allow for the acceptable servicing of the development, contrary to Policies T4, T6 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy TRC03 of Barnet's Local Plan (2025).
4. 4.The proposed development does not provide a legal agreement to address the highway and car parking impacts of the proposed development. In the absence of a legal agreement securing appropriate mitigation by restricting future occupiers of the proposed development from obtaining parking permits within the Controlled Parking Zone, the proposed development would unacceptably increase on-street parking stress in the vicinity of the site to the detriment of highways and pedestrian safety and the free flow of traffic contrary to policies T6 and T.6.1 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy TRC03 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025).
