Delegated decision: Refused · Eric Thompson
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed parking arrangement and vehicular access, by virtue of their siting and size,
would result in insufficient width for vehicular entering/existing and vehicles slowing, turning and
manoeuvring across the footway and on street parking area, leading to conflict with pedestrians and
harm to the free flow and safety of traffic, as well as the loss or obstruction of essential on street
parking. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework
(2021), Policies T2, T4, and T6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies CP24 and CP25 of the Enfield Core
Strategy (2010), Policies DMD45, DMD46 and DMD47 of the Enfield Development Management
Document (2014), and the Revised Technical Standards for Footway Crossovers (2013).
2
The proposed development, in the absence of a tree constraints plan, tree protection plan and
trial dig report, has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would retain and protect trees of visual
amenity and biodiversity value within the site contrary to Section 15 of the National Planning Policy
Framework (2021), Policies G6 and G7 of the London Plan (2021) and CP36 of the Enfield Core
Strategy (2010), DMD37, DMD 80 and DMD81 of the Enfield Development Management Document
(2014) and the British Standard for Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction (BS
5837:2012).
