Conversion and change of use from house of multiple occupation (HMO) into 8 x flats, involving four storey front/side extension, with part single, part 3- storey rear extensions, conversion of garage into habitable room, extension to roof at side to form gable end, with front and rear rooflights.
The proposed development, by virtue of the inadequate floorspaces would result in a sub- standard form of accommodation that would not be able to cater for the reasonable needs of future occupiers, contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021, Policies CP4 and CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy 2010, Policy DMD8 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), the Nationally Described Space Standard (2015) as well as the NPPF (2024).
The proposed roof form and the rear extension by virtue of their poor design and lack of coherent relationship with the proportion, detailing and overall character of the existing building would appear visually intrusive, incongruous, overly dominant and out of keeping with the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area of which it forms part, contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies D3 of the London Plan (2021), CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD8, DMD11, DMD 13, DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
