Why it was refused

  1. The proposed outbuilding, by reason of its size, siting, scale, bulk, design and excessive footprint, when taken together with the proposed single storey rear extension in close proximity, would result in a cumulative form of development that appears visually intrusive, disproportionate, incongruous and unduly prominent within the site. The combined scale and massing of the additions would result in an overly dominant form of development that would fail to relate appropriately to the host dwelling and would detract from the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), and the Council's Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD Part 4: Residential Extensions and Alterations.
  2. The proposed outbuilding, by virtue of its scale, bulk and siting along the shared boundary with No. 60 Brent Way, when combined with the proposed single-storey rear extension in close proximity, would result in an unduly dominant and overbearing form of development. The cumulative impact of the proposals would create an unacceptable sense of enclosure and loss of outlook, to the detriment of the residential amenities of the occupants of No. 60 Brent Way. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies CDH01 and CDH05 of the Barnet Local Plan (2025), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), and the Council's Sustainable Design and Development Guidance SPD Part 4: Residential Extensions and Alterations.

From the council's decision notice.
