The proposed vehicle crossover would lead to a loss of on-street parking and negatively impact on the existing character of the area and streetscape resulting in the loss of grass verges and the creation of an extremely wide vehicle crossover that would be in excess of the maximum width set out in our guidance document contrary to Policies T2 and D8 of the London Plan 2021, Core Strategy (2010) Policy CP30 and Development Management Document (2014) Policies DMD37 and DMD46.

The proposals would have vehicles to reverse in or out of the garages having an impact on the free flow of traffic on the adjoining highway. The positioning of the garage entrances located so closely to the footway means that the required essential amount of visibility between the vehicle joining the carriageway and users of the footway cannot be achieved, therefore the proposals cannot ensure that they would not affect the safety of pedestrians on the adjoining footway. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the Revised Technical Standards for Footway Crossovers 2013, Policies T1, T2 and T6 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CP24 of the Core Strategy (2010) and Policies DMD45 and DMD46 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
