Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension, by reason of its excessive width, cumulatively bulk, scale and design, together with the inclusion of wraparound design at the first floor level at a prominent corner property, would result in an unduly dominant, disproportionate and visually intrusive form of development. The proposal would fail to appear subordinate to the host dwelling and would appear incongruous within the site, the street scene and its surrounding context, causing harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan (March 2025), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), and the Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD (2026).
  2. The proposal, by reason of its size, siting, excessive rearward projection and proximity to neighbouring boundary would appear overbearing and visually obtrusive and would result in an increased sense of enclosure, and loss of light and outlook, detrimental to the visual and residential amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at No. 59 Basing Hill. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan 2025, and the Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD (2026).
