The proposed amenity space, by virtue of its proximity to the rear window opening of no.94 and second floor window opening serving the hotel room to the rear of the Holtwhites Hotel would create a poor living environment for existing and future occupiers by reason of the resultant unacceptable overlooking and inadequate levels of privacy, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2016), Policies DMD8 and DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
