Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed external alterations are intrinsically linked to proposed internal works to the Listed
Building for which Listed Building Consent has not been approved. In the absence of such an approval
the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the development as a whole can progress without causing
harm to the listed building. Furthermore, a lack of sufficient information, pertaining to window detailing
and the potential loss of historic fabric, has been provided. As such, it is considered that the
development would result in 'less than substantial' harm to the special architectural and historic interest
of the listed building as a designated heritage asset, which is not outweighed by any public benefits.
The proposal is therefore contrary to Sections 16(2), 66 (1) and 72 (1) of the Planning (Listed Building
and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, 12 and 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021),
Policies D5, HC1 of the London Plan (2021), CP30 and CP31 of the Enfield CoreStrategy (2010),
DMD11, DMD37 and DMD44 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), the Enfield
Town Conservation Area Management proposals (2015), and the Enfield Heritage Strategy 2019 - 2024
(2019).
