Scheme description

Demolition of 2x dwelling houses and change of use from residential garden ground (C3) to cemetery use (Sui Generis) to provide additional burial space (Part-retrospective).

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The proposed development would result in the unjustified loss of two self-contained dwellinghouses, with no replacement residential accommodation proposed, in a context where the local planning authority is unable to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites. The development would fail to safeguard existing residential accommodation and optimise housing delivery. The proposal is therefore contrary to the NPPF (2024), Policy H1 and Policy H8 of the London Plan (2021), and DMD Policy 4 of Enfield Development Management Document (2014). Dated: 23 January 2026 Authorised on behalf of: Karen Page Head of Planning and Building Control Housing, Regeneration and Development Department Enfield Council PO Box 53, Civic Centre Silver Street, Enfield EN1 3XE If you have any questions about this decision, please contact the planning officer harsha.bhundia@enfield.gov.uk.
