Delegated decision: Refused · Ankit Dhakal
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by virtue of its form, roofscape along with its glazed fenestration
fronting the street, would appear visually intrusive, incongruous, overly dominant and out of keeping]
with the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area of which it forms part,
contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies D3, D4, D5, D8 of
the London Plan (2021), CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD6, DMD8, DMD11 and
DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
2
The proposed development, by virtue of its internal layouts with very poor quality of outlook,
insufficient natural light from the lower ground floor level would result in substandard and inappropriate
accommodation incapable of meeting the reasonable needs of occupiers, contrary to Section 12 of the
National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies D3, D4, D5, D6, D8 of the London Plan (2021),
CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD6, DMD8, DMD9 and DMD37 of the Enfield
Development Management Document (2014) and the London Housing Supplementary Planning
Guidance (2016).
3
The proposed development, by virtue of inadequate provision of private amenity space as well
as lack of defensible space with poor quality of outlook from the upper floor would result in
substandard and inappropriate accommodation incapable of meeting the reasonable needs of
occupiers, contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies D3, D4,
D5, D6, D8 of the London Plan (2021), CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD6, DMD8,
DMD9 and DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014) and the London
Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (2016).
4
The proposed development, in the absence of adequate cycle storage, fails to provide a
secure, convenient and high quality facility for all types of bicycles and would fail to promote or
prioritise the use of sustainable modes of transport, contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning
Policy Framework (2021), Policies T2, T3, T4, T6, T6.1 and T7 of the London Plan (2021), CP24 and
CP25 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD45, DMD46, DMD47 and DMD48 of the Enfield
Development Management Document (2014).
5
The proposed waste storage, by virtue of its location and layout, would fail to provide
reasonable access to the dwellinghouse as it would create obstruction on the accessway, contrary to
Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies T2, T3, T4, T6, T6.1 and T7 of
the London Plan (2021), CP22 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD45, DMD46, DMD47, DMD48
and DMD57of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014) and the Enfield Waste and
Recycling Storage Planning Guidance (2020).
