Conversion of single family dwelling house into 2 self-contained flats, involving part single, part 2 storey rear extension and rear dormer with front rooflights.
The proposed development, by virtue of its poorly accessed private amenity space for flat 2 and lack of private defensible space to the habitable room window for bedroom 2, flat 1 would result in substandard and inappropriate accommodation incapable of meeting the reasonable needs of occupiers. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D3, D4, D6, of the London Plan (2021), CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD6, DMD8, DMD9 and DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
The proposed development, by reason of the inadequate off street parking provision and the layout and siting of the parking space proposed, would result in excessive and potentially unachievable vehicle manoeuvring which would adversely impact vehicular traffic, would be unsafe for pedestrians and would result in unacceptable increased on street parking pressure. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies T6, T6.1 and T7 of the London Plan (2021), CP24 and CP25 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD45, DMD46, DMD47 and DMD48 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
The proposed development, in the absence of an adequate site specific flood risk assessment, fails to demonstrate how proposed measures will manage the risk of flooding on site and elsewhere and provide level for level flood compensation. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies SI 12 and SI 13 of the London Plan (2021), CP21 and CP28 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD59, DMD60, DMD61, DMD62 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014) and the Enfield Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (2021).
