The proposed extensions, by virtue of their scale, bulk and detailed design, would fail to appear
as subservient additions to the host building. Their disproportionately large form would compete with,
and visually dominate, the modest scale of the original cottages, resulting in an unbalanced
composition that would erode the paired and symmetrical character of these buildings and would fail to
preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Trent Park Conservation Area. The harm
caused would not outweighed by any public benefits. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section
72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act (1990), Section 16 of the National
Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D4, D5, and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policies
CP30 and CP31 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD37 and DMD44 of the Enfield
Development Management Document (2014), the Trent Park Conservation Area Management
proposals, and the Enfield Heritage Strategy 2019 - 2024 (2019).
