Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 1 August 2023 by A Veevers BA(Hons) DipBCon MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 5th October 2023 Appeal Ref: APP/N5090/W/23/3314987 Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, Mill Hill, London NW7 4SG • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by KDS Estates Ltd against the decision of the Council of the London Borough of Barnet. • The application Ref 20/4355/FUL, dated 27 January 2022, was refused by notice dated 21 July 2022. • The development proposed is demolition of the existing dwellings and erection of a three storey building to provide 9no self-contained flats. Associated parking, cycle store, refuse and recycling store and amenity space. Decision 1.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the demolition of the existing dwellings and erection of a three storey building to provide 9no self-contained flats, associated parking, cycle store, refuse and recycling store and amenity space at Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, Mill Hill, London NW7 4SG in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 20/4355/FUL, dated 27 January 2022, and the plans submitted with it, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2. I have taken the address in the banner heading above from the Council’s decision notice, which was also used in the appeal form, as it more accurately describes the location of the proposal. 3. Two application forms were submitted with the application. The first application form includes a signed certificate A by the appellant as the owner of the appeal site. This was amended and the second application form dated 27 January 2022 includes a signed certificate B in respect of ownership. An interested party queries the legitimacy of the ownership of the appeal site.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision However, there is no compelling evidence before me to indicate the incorrect certificate has been used and the Council accepted the application on this basis as do I. 4. Following the Council’s decision, a Unilateral Undertaking (UU) pursuant to section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 was submitted and amended during the appeal. The UU contains an obligation to pay the Council a tree planting and monitoring contribution in mitigation for the loss of trees and biodiversity at the site. I comment upon the UU later in my decision. Main Issue 5. The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/N5090/W/23/3314987 Reasons 6. The appeal site is currently occupied by a two storey detached dwelling (63 Daws Lane (No.63)) and a two storey detached building containing 3 flats (Dawlish Court). 7. The site lies in a predominantly residential area at the transition between commercial buildings in the centre of Mill Hill and the parkland setting around Mill Hill School. There is a slight incline along Daws Lane from its junction with Watford Road towards Wise Lane. Mill Hill park and its car park are opposite the site. The park hosts a large open green space, a café, children’s play area, and a multitude of sports facilities. Residential properties along the tree-lined part of Daws Lane between the site and Wise Lane face the park and are generally two storey moderately large semi-detached and detached dwellings. 8. Buildings that lie between the site and Watford Road to the west vary in terms of use and character. There is a hair salon adjacent to No.63 with a primary school opposite, next to which is a 3-storey Royal Mail building. Streets to the rear of the site are residential and comprise of mainly two storey semi- detached and terraced dwellings.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Most residential properties in the vicinity are characterised by varying aged buildings of different sizes and forms. 9. The proposed development would create a building with accommodation over three floors and car parking at the rear of the site. No.63 and Dawlish Court are set back from Daws Lane behind front gardens and sit above pavement level with adjoining sloping driveways. The proposed building would be positioned at a similar level and front building line to 71 Daws Lane (No.71) and would be set back slightly from 61 Daws Lane (No.61). 10. The National Design Guide1 advises well-designed new development should respond positively to the features of the site itself and the surrounding context beyond the site boundary. This includes layout, form, scale, appearance, details, and materials. In terms of form and scale, whilst the building would occupy a large proportion of the site, it would be designed to appear as two separate buildings with a glazed link between. This would somewhat diminish the overall bulk of the building and retain the rhythm of the street. The building would have a greater depth than the current dwelling at No.63, however, it would be a similar depth to Dawlish Court and No.61. 11.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Whilst the proposal would close the current gap between No.63 and Dawlish Court, separation would be retained to each side of the proposed building and the neighbouring properties, thereby maintaining the spacing found between dwellings along the street. The layout would include parking to the rear, which currently occurs to the rear of Dawlish Court and is therefore not an unusual feature of the site. 12. From the evidence before me, while the number of residential units on the site would increase, the internal minimum space standards of each of the proposed flats would meet the requirements of the London Plan 2021 (LP). Internal storage areas are provided for each flat. Even if the private outdoor amenity space standards of the Council’s Sustainable Design and Construction Supplementary Planning Document 2016 would not be fully met, I note that a communal area of outdoor amenity space would be provided and a large public 1 National Design Guide, Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government 2021 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/N5090/W/23/3314987 park is located opposite the site. I also note the Council’s Highways department have raised no objection to the level of car parking having regard to the location of the site, the PTAL rating and the availability of on-street parking spaces in the area. 13. Given the site lies at a transitional point along Daws Lane between mixed community, commercial and residential development, including flats, to the west and family dwellings to the east, the proposal would not harm the prevailing pattern of development in the area, including building plot sizes and widths. It would not therefore constitute over-development of the site. 14. In terms of the appearance of the proposed development, having regard to the relatively mixed urban character and appearance of the area, the proposed development would introduce a modern building that would not be incongruous with its surroundings. The eaves height and hip roof would reflect similar rooflines in the area and visually reduce the scale of the building. The side roof dormers would similarly reflect those found in the vicinity of the site and would not be excessive in scale. 15.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Although the large glazed front gable features would be dominant and wide, in the context of other double bay gabled windows in the street, they would represent a modern form of projecting bays on the front elevation. They would be similar in proportion to No.63 and to other double bays evident along Daws Lane, albeit the proposed glazing would extend to fill the gable pediment. The central recessed glazed link would be seen as a lightweight structure separating the two brick flatted elements. 16. Even though the proposed building would be positioned slightly forward and lower than the existing buildings on the site, it would not project beyond the front building line of adjacent properties. An enclosed front garden would be retained which would be commensurate in size with neighbouring residential properties and would help to integrate the development into its surroundings and screen the bin store. 17. I observed at my site visit that there were a number of fruit trees and other small trees and vegetation at the rear of the site, although the area to the rear of Dawlish Court was predominantly laid to hardstanding and incorporated garaging.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Trees make an important contribution to the character and quality of urban environments and can also help mitigate and adapt to climate change. 18. I note the Council’s tree officer advised that insufficient evidence had been presented with the application to properly evaluate the proposal with regards the loss of trees. Whilst there would be some conflict with Policies DM01 of the Barnet Local Plan Development Management Policies 2012 (BDMP) in this regard, given there are no protected trees on the site, nor is the site in a conservation area, the Council accept that suitable mitigation for the reduction in tree cover at the site could be achieved by the planting of 10 trees in the locality. 19. There is no compelling evidence before me to indicate that the reduction in tree cover would result in a reduction in overall biodiversity at the site, particularly given a new landscaping scheme could be designed to incorporate suitable native species to encourage habitat creation and the planting of additional trees in the locality would provide appropriate mitigation in this regard. I note the Council’s ecologist has not objected to the scheme on this basis. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 3

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/N5090/W/23/3314987 20. The appellant has submitted a completed UU signed and dated 2 October 2023 that includes a sum of £6,000 and a monitoring fee to be provided as a contribution for the planting of trees. I find the UU would meet the three tests of necessity, being directly related to the development and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind as set out in paragraph 56 of the Framework. I can therefore take the UU into account in my decision. 21. The Framework2 confirms that great importance should be attached to the design of the built environment and seeks to encourage well-designed, beautiful places, which are a key component of sustainable development. Policies D3 and H2 of the LP both aim to ensure additional housing on small sites is secured, having regard to local character which evolves over time. 22. The proposed development would amalgamate two buildings effectively into one large building and would result in a reduction in tree cover to the rear of the site.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision However, I consider the UU provides suitable mitigation in terms of soft landscaping and the proposed development would respond positively to local character, while not preventing or discouraging appropriate innovation or change. In this respect the appearance of the proposal would add interest to the street scene and serve to underline the distinction between old and new without being starkly at odds with its surroundings. 23. Indeed, in my judgment, even though the design and materials used in the proposal are moderately different to other buildings in the area, the objective matters of design set out above lead me to conclude that, in the context of the surrounding area, the proposed development would not appear out of character or appearance in this particular varied street scene. 24. Therefore, the proposed development would not harm the character or appearance of the area.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Accordingly, I find no conflict with Policy CS5 of the Barnet Local Plan Core Strategy 2012, Policies DM01, DM02 and DM16 of the BDMP and Policies D3, D4, G6 and G7 of the LP which collectively seek to ensure, amongst other things, that the borough’s high quality suburbs and historic areas are enhanced through the provision of buildings of the highest quality that are sustainable and adaptable and respect local context and the appearance, scale, mass, height and pattern of surrounding buildings, spaces and streets. 25. The proposal would also be consistent with guidance in the Framework and the Council’s Residential Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2016. Together these, amongst other things, seek to optimise the potential of a site to accommodate and sustain an appropriate amount and mix of development whilst ensuring development maintains a strong sense of place, using the arrangement of streets, spaces, building types and materials to create attractive, welcoming and distinctive places to live, work and visit. Other Matters 26. I have considered the other concerns about the scheme from interested parties which cover a range of topics.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision I have also had regard to the photographs and case law provided by an interested party. 27. Whilst I note the suggestion that the site floods from surface water and may be contaminated, there is no cogent evidence to support this, particularly in the 2 National Planning Policy Framework 2021 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Whilst I note the suggestion that the site floods from surface water and may be contaminated, there is no cogent evidence to support this, particularly in the 2 National Planning Policy Framework 2021 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 4

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/N5090/W/23/3314987 context of the existing residential site being outside of any flooding constraint area and I note there has been no objection in relation to these matters from the Council’s Scientific Officer or the Lead Local Flood Authority. A condition could be attached to any permission resulting from this appeal requiring details of an appropriate drainage strategy for the site, based on the hierarchy of sustainable drainage principles. In the interests of water efficiency, a condition could be imposed to ensure each proposed flat incorporates water saving and efficiency measures. 28. There is concern that the scheme would create additional parking stress in the area. Although a bus stop is located directly outside the site, I recognise that the site has poor public transport accessibility and during times when there are events at Mill Hill park and at the beginning and end of a school day, the availability of on-street parking in the area would be limited.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Nonetheless, having regard to the scale of the proposal, the minimal shortfall in parking spaces, the presence of a public car park opposite the site for visitors and the, albeit limited at times, availability of on-street parking on surrounding roads, I am satisfied the proposed parking provision would be acceptable. Furthermore, I note the Council’s Highways department have raised no objection to the proposal subject to the imposition of conditions. 29. I have carefully considered the concerns raised regarding overlooking, outlook and levels of sunlight and daylight in relation to overshadowing for neighbouring residents, particularly those at No.71. Given the current scale of the building at Dawlish Court and its relationship to No.71, whilst the proposal would be higher, I agree with the Council’s conclusions that the proposal would not be detrimental to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, provided a number of conditions are imposed in this regard. These would relate to the provision of obscure glazing, privacy screens to external balconies, plant noise, drainage and clarification of boundary treatment. 30.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Given the sloping topography of the site and neighbouring land, concerns relating to land stability have been raised. A condition could be imposed requiring details of a construction structural management plan to be agreed with the Council prior to the commencement of development. Such a condition could safeguard the structural stability of adjoining land and property. Any effects from the demolition and construction period would be short-term and could be mitigated by careful construction management. 31. I am satisfied that the site is clearly geographically identified by the address provided and the red edge boundary on the submitted location plan. Regardless of the photographs submitted with application, which an interested parties suggests are out of date, I observed the current road layout at my site visit. 32. Though none of the 9 residential units would be units of affordable housing, the development plan policies do not require the provision of such below the relevant threshold. 33. I acknowledge the content of the Framework regarding early engagement of all interested parties in the development process.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision However, the Local Planning Authority cannot require that a developer engages with them or neighbouring residents before submitting a planning application. 34. This appeal has been dealt with on its own merits and has been found to be acceptable for the reasons given above. The decision would not set a precedent https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

This appeal has been dealt with on its own merits and has been found to be acceptable for the reasons given above. The decision would not set a precedent https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5 Appeal Decision APP/N5090/W/23/3314987 for the area, as each proposal must be assessed on its own merits and the particular circumstances of the site. Conditions 35. I have considered the suggested conditions from the Council and had regard to Paragraph 56 of the Framework and the Planning Practice Guidance3 in terms of the use of planning conditions. I have undertaken some minor editing and rationalisation of the conditions suggested by the Council in the interests of precision and clarity. Both main parties have had the opportunity to review the proposed conditions. 36. In addition to the standard time limit condition (1), a condition (2) requiring the development to be carried out in accordance with approved plans is needed in the interests of proper planning and for the avoidance of doubt.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Necessary conditions relating to the construction phase, including structural stability and a demolition and construction works logistics plan, hours of work, construction machinery are included as pre-commencement conditions to ensure appropriate management of the demolition and construction phases at an early stage, to protect neighbouring living conditions and the environment and to ensure details are available to contractors before work commences. Given the removal of small trees on the site, in the interests of biodiversity, a condition requiring measures to secure biodiversity net gain on the site is necessary (3,4,5,6 and 7). The appellant has not objected to the inclusion of these pre- commencement conditions. 37. Given the development is flatted and includes ventilated rooms, a sound insulation condition is necessary to protect the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupants (8 and 9). Two of the Council’s suggested conditions relating to noise are not necessary because the site is in existing residential use and is not located adjacent to a railway or busy road. 38.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Conditions (10 and 11) are necessary in the interests of achieving a high quality design and certainty about the slab levels and any retaining features, due to the topography of the site and to safeguard the character and appearance of the area. 39. Whilst not a condition suggested by the Council, the Council’s officer report refers to the need for a surface water drainage condition. I have imposed such a condition as it is necessary to secure sustainable and properly managed surface water drainage of the site (12). 40. In the interests of the safety and free flow of traffic on the highway, a condition is necessary to secure approval of details of the site access and necessary works to the highway (13). I have removed part of the Council’s suggested wording for this condition as the costs of the highway access works are not relevant in this case. 41. Conditions required prior to occupation of the development include those in relation to the transport-related aspects such as securing the necessary vehicular and cycle parking on the site (14 and 15).

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision In terms of the need to transition to a low carbon future, I am mindful that the new Part S of the Building Regulations now governs the installation of electric vehicle charging 3 PPG Paragraph: 003 Reference ID: 21a-003-20190723; revision date: 23 07 2019 https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 6

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/N5090/W/23/3314987 points in new housing developments and so it is not necessary to impose the Council’s suggested condition on this matter. 42. Other conditions required prior to occupation relating to refuse and recycling, means of enclosure and landscaping are necessary to protect the character and appearance of the area and in the interests of nature conservation (16,17 and 18). 43. In order to ensure the living conditions of occupiers of No.61 and No.71 are not harmed with regards overlooking, conditions are necessary relating to privacy screens and obscure glazing (19 and 20). 44. The quality of development for future occupiers, including in relation to emissions, water efficiency and accessibility are necessary in the interests of minimising carbon dioxide emissions, water use and to ensure homes meet diverse and changing needs (21,22 and 23). The Council’s suggested conditions relating to sound insulation certification and sub-division of the rear outdoor amenity space are not necessary as certification is covered by other legislation.

Dawlish Court and 63 Daws Lane, London, NW7 4SG — London Borough of Barnet — Appeal Decision The division of a small communal garden to ensure each flat has a private area of outdoor amenity space is not would result in several fences in a small space which would harm the appearance of the site. A communal garden for use by occupants of 6 flats would be acceptable in this location, which is also opposite a large public park. Conclusion 45. For the reasons given above, and having regard to all matters raised, I conclude the appeal should be allowed.
