Scheme description

Change of use from Use Class C3 (dwelling house) to Use Class C4 (HMO-house in multiple occupation) with associated amenity, cycle and refuse storage.

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The submitted Flood Risk Assessment is inadequate and fails to demonstrate that the development would be safe for its lifetime, would not increase flood risk elsewhere, and would incorporate appropriate mitigation measures. The proposal does not adequately demonstrate the provision of level-for-level compensation and has not adequately demonstrated a Flood Management/Evacuation Plan. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMD 59 and DMD 60 of Enfield's Development Management Document (2014), Policy SI 12 of the London Plan (2021) and Chapter 14 of the NPPF (2024). Dated: 23 March 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.
