1)            the proposed development, in the absence of a legal agreement to provide appropriate mitigation measures to ensure the development would not exacerbate on street parking as a result of the proposed development, would fail to comply with the requirements of policy 6.9 of The London Plan 2016, Policy T6 of the Draft London Plan Intend to Publish Version (2019(, Policy DM42 and DM50 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013), and policy CS1.R of the Harrow Core Strategy 2012.
