Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first-floor rear extension, by reason of its excessive width, depth, bulk and massing, would fail to appear as a subordinate addition to the host dwelling and would introduce a prominent, incongruous and visually dominant and disproportionate form of development that would be out of keeping with the proportions of the original dwelling and the prevailing pattern of development within the locality. The proposal would therefore result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, contrary to Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025), Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021), and Sustainable Design and Development Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) (June 2026)
  2. The proposed first floor rear extension, by reason of its size, scale, height, excessive depth and proximity to the neighbouring boundary, would appear overbearing and visually dominant and prominent addition when viewed from the rear garden of No. 93 Crewys Road, resulting in harm to the visual and residential amenities of this neighbouring occupier. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025), and Sustainable Design and Development Guidance Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) (June 2026)

From the council's decision notice.
