Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, due to the loss of sports pitches without clarity on the purpose for
which funds would be obtained to support the improvements to all remaining eight pitches on the site
would fail to provide a good quality supply of sports and recreational facilities and fail to facilitate
health, wellbeing and social cohesion. This would fail to accord with the National Planning Policy
Framework (2021), Policy S5 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CP34 of the Core Strategy (2010),
Policy DMD74 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the Enfield Playing Pitch
Strategy (April 2018 - March 2023).
2
The proposed development, by virtue of its scale and massing through the provision of
accommodation over three floors would result in a scale and form of development that is incongruous
and detrimental to the character and appearance of the Bush Hill Park Conservation Area. This would
be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies D4 and HC1 of the London
Plan (2021), Policy CP30 of the Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD37 and DMD44 of the
Development Management Document (2014) and the Bush Hill Park Conservation Area Character
Appraisal (2015).
