Bush Hill Park Bowls Tennis And Social Club Abbey Road Enfield EN1 2QP
Redevelopment of the site including removal of existing tennis courts, sub-division of site and erection of two new buildings comprising of 4 self contained flats in each building, together with parking, refuse storage and associated works.
The proposed development, due to the loss of sports pitches without clarity on the purpose for which funds would be obtained to support the improvements to all remaining eight pitches on the site would fail to provide a good quality supply of sports and recreational facilities and fail to facilitate health, wellbeing and social cohesion. This would fail to accord with the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policy S5 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CP34 of the Core Strategy (2010), Policy DMD74 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the Enfield Playing Pitch Strategy (April 2018 - March 2023).
The proposed development, by virtue of its scale and massing through the provision of accommodation over three floors would result in a scale and form of development that is incongruous and detrimental to the character and appearance of the Bush Hill Park Conservation Area. This would be contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CP30 of the Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD37 and DMD44 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the Bush Hill Park Conservation Area Character Appraisal (2015).
