Why it was refused

  1. The proposed vehicular access/crossover, by virtue of its siting immediately adjacent to the junction of Mays Lane and Kenerne Drive, would introduce vehicular movements at a location characterised by heightened pedestrian and vehicle activity. This would increase the potential for conflict between highway users, to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety. In addition, the proposal would result in the loss of a substantial section of grass verge, causing unacceptable harm to the visual amenity and green character of the streetscene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Sections 2.2 and 2.10.2 of the Barnet Crossover Policy (April 2019) and Policies CDH01 and TRC01 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025).

From the council's decision notice.
