The proposed residential development by virtue of its design, scale, bulk, siting and site coverage would result in an overdevelopment and cramped form of development that is out of keeping and character with the surrounding form and pattern of development and harmful to the visual amenity of the locality. Furthermore, the excessive height would siting on the common boundary would represent a dominant and incongruous feature within the street scene detracting from the established character. The proposals are thereby contrary to Policies CP30 of the Core Strategy, GG1, GG2, D3, D4 and D8 of the London Plan, DMD6, DMD8, and DMD37 of the Development Management Document, as well as the guidance contained within the NPPF, which together seek to achieve a good quality design.

The proposed development, by virtue of its size, design, scale, and relationship to site boundaries would prejudice the development potential and prevent development on the adjoining sites at no's 259 and 261 Green Lanes being optimised, detrimental to the future regeneration of this area. In this respect the proposal would fail to comply with policies DMD6 and DMD8 of the DMD, GG1, GG2, H1, H2 and D3 of the London Plan and the advice contained within the NPPF, which together seek to achieve optimum potential for delivery of housing on brownfield land and small sites

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, policies SI12 and SI13 of the London Plan, policies CP21 and CP28 of the Enfield Core Strategy and policies DMD59, DMD60 and DMD61 of the Development Management Document.

If the onsite habitat includes irreplaceable habitat (within the meaning of the Biodiversity Gain Requirements (Irreplaceable Habitat) Regulations 2024) there are additional requirements for the content and approval of Biodiversity Gain Plans. If this permission which has been granted has the effect of requiring or permitting the development to proceed in phases. The modifications in respect of the biodiversity gain condition which are set out in Part 2 of the Biodiversity Gain (Town and Country Planning) (Modifications and Amendments) (England) Regulations 2024 would apply if the permission were subject to the biodiversity gain condition. In summary: Biodiversity gain plans would be required to be submitted to, and approved by, the planning authority before development may be begun (the overall plan), and before each phase of development may be begun (phase plans). Advice about how to prepare a Biodiversity Gain Plan and a template can be found at www.gov.uk/guidance/submit-a-biodiversity-gain-plan . The Biodiversity Gain Plan should be submitted as an 'application for approval of details reserved by condition following grant of planning permission' via the Planning Portal. There are statutory exemptions and transitional arrangements which mean that the biodiversity gain condition does not always apply and can be found at www.gov.uk/guidance/biodiversity-net-gain- exempt-developments APPEAL GUIDANCE: Should you (an applicant or agent) feel aggrieved by the decision of the Council to either refuse permission or to grant permission subject to conditions, you can
