The development, by reason of its incongruous design, height, size and siting of the unauthorised two-storey rear extension significantly increases the prominence, scale and bulk of the application building. The scheme is out of character and dominant within the street scene and results in harm to the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area, contrary to the NPPF (2019), London plan policies D1 and D4, Enfield Core Strategy policy CP30 and Enfield Development Management Document policies DMD8, DMD11 and DMD37.

The development, by reason of its incongruous design, height, size and proximity of the unauthorised two-storey rear extension to the adjoining neighbours would be a dominant form of development that would fail to have appropriate regard to its surroundings, create a sense of enclosure and adversely affect the light and outlook to the residents of the neighbouring properties. The development results in significant harm to neighbouring residential amenity, contrary to Policies DMD8, DMD11 and DMD37 of the Development Management Document (2014), Policy CP2 and Policy CP4 of the Core Strategy 2010-2025 (2010) and the NPPF.

In the absence of any detailed information, the scheme has failed to demonstrate that there would be no harmful impacts upon surrounding residential properties in relation to noise associated with the retrospective use. The proposal is therefore contrary to the advice contained within the NPPF, London plan policy D14, Enfield Core Strategy policy CP32 and Enfield Development Management Document policies DMD29, DMD32, DMD37, DMD64, DMD65 and DMD68.
