By virtue of its massing, materiality and elevational design the proposal would have an unacceptable impact upon local character resulting in harm to the architectural significance of a non- designated heritage asset contrary to Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023); HC1 of the London Plan (2021); Policy DMD 37 and DMD 44 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014); and, Policy 31 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010).

The creation of two residential units abutting and in close proximity to this functioning, disorderly service road, which is host to a high volume of waste receptacles associated with adjoining commercial units, would not create an acceptable living environment for future occupants. As such the proposal is contrary to Policy GG3 of London Plan (2021), Policy CP 30 of Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD 8 and DMD 37 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the NPPF (2023).

In the absence of a daylight and sunlight assessment, it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development would not harm available sunlight and daylight levels enjoyed by occupants to the rear or adjoining the site. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy GG3 of London Plan (2021), Policy CP 30 of Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD 8 and DMD 37 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the NPPF (2023).

By virtue of the siting of the proposed extension, some 4.5 metres from the rear of the existing residential units at 749 Green Lanes, the development would create a sense of enclosure for adjoining residents, to the detriment of their residential amenity. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy GG3 of London Plan (2021), Policy CP 30 of Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD 8 and DMD 37 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the NPPF (2023).

The proposed development would overlook the rear gardens of neighbouring properties at Station Road to such an extent, due to separation distances, that the residential amenity enjoyed of occupants would be reduced to unacceptable levels. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy GG3 of London Plan (2021), Policy CP 30 of Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD 8 and DMD 37 of the Development Management Document (2014) and the NPPF (2023).

No Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposal would comply with the requirements set out in the NPPF (2023) and does not, therefore, provide a suitable basis for assessment to be made of the flood risks arising from the proposed development. Furthermore, the proposal has failed to demonstrate measures to promote and manage sustainable drainage across the site which inhibits the ability of the Local Planning Authority to fully assess whether the proposed development would result in an increase in flood risk on or off the site. The proposal is therefore contrary to the advice contained within the NPPF (2023) , London Plan (2021) Policies SI12 and SI13, Enfield Core Strategy (2020), Policies CP21 and CP28 and Enfield Development Management Document (2024) Policies DMD59, DMD60, DMD61 and DMD62.
