Why it was refused

  1. The proposed front railings, boundary wall and metal access gates would by reason of their size, height, design and prominent siting and appearance would result in an incongruous, overly prominent and visually obtrusive additions to the host site detracting from the open character and appearance of this part of Priory Close and Totteridge Conservation area, detrimental to the host site, street scene and the surrounding area, contrary to policies D1, D4 and D5 of The London Plan (2021) and policies CDH01, CDH05 and CDH08 of the adopted Barnet Local Plan (2025).

From the council's decision notice.
