Delegated decision: Refused · Tendai Mutasa
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed extension by reason of its depth and siting along the shared boundary would
cause significant overbearing impacts on the ground floor rear windows and external private amenity
space (patio area) at No. 78 Maidstone Road causing noticeable a sense of enclosure, and intrusive
and obtrusive impacts on this property. Therefore, the resulting impact would be an unneighbourly form
of overdevelopment. As such, the proposed scheme is contrary to the National Planning Policy
Framework (2021), Policies 6 and DMD 11 of the Development Management Document (2014) and
Policies CP4 and CP30 of the Core Strategy (2010).

Additional Information
Making an Appeal – Summary Guidance
Whether to appeal
If the Local Planning Authority (LPA) turn down your application, you should look carefully at the reasons why
they turned it down before you make an appeal. You should speak to the LPA to see if you can sort out the
problem - perhaps by changing your proposal. An appeal should only ever be a last resort.
Appeal time:
Within 12 weeks of the date of this notice.
Who can appeal?
The applicant or their agent may lodge an appeal
The appeals process:
Appeals can be made online at: https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate. If you are unable to access the
online appeal form, please contact the Planning Inspectorate to obtain a paper copy of the appeal form on tel:
0303 444 5000. A copy of the appeal also needs to be sent to Enfield Council
planning.appeals@enfield.gov.uk
It will be expected that all appeal documentation will be submitted electronically.
The Planning Inspectorate (on behalf of the Secretary of State) will determine the appeal procedure to be
followed. Normally this will proceed by way of the Householder Appeal Service which will rely solely on
information submitted at application stage. The Council will send copies of any letters of objection or support
they received when considering your application. Further submissions or statements will not be accepted by
the Planning Inspectorate.
Your householder appeal will be decided by a Planning Inspector. He/she will consider all the application
documents and grounds of appeal and also make an unaccompanied visit to the appeal site. You may be
required to provide access to the site for the Inspector.
The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal but will not normally be
prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of
appeal.
The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to the Secretary of State that the local planning
authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed development or could not have granted
it without the conditions they imposed, having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of any
development order and to any directions given under a development order.
If you intend to submit an appeal that you would like examined by inquiry then you must notify the Local
Planning Authority and Planning Inspectorate (inquiryappeals@planninginspectorate.gov.uk) at least 10 days
before submitting the appeal. Further details are on GOV.UK.
Appeal decision:
80% of householder appeal decisions will be issued within 8 weeks from the start date of the appeal.
