Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extensions, by reason of their size, scale, siting and design would result in an incongruous form of development, appearing out of scale with the host dwellinghouse, and at odds with the established pattern of development in the surrounding area, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the LB Barnet Local Plan (2025) and the Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD (2026).
  2. The proposed rear extension and boundary wall, by reason of size, scale, design and siting would appear overbearing and be a visually obtrusive form of development resulting in an undue loss of outlook and an increased sense of enclosure towards No.1 Cavendish Road. The proposed development would therefore be detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Adopted Barnet Local Plan (2025) and the Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD (2026).

From the council's decision notice.
