18 Beech Hill Barnet EN4 0JP
Redevelopment of site with erection of 4 x detached houses each with detached double garages and communal refuse/recycle bin store.
The proposed development, by reason of sitting, scale and mass would create a cramped and appear visually intrusive, incongruous, overly dominant development, out of keeping with the character and appearance of development along Beech Hill. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D3, D4, D5, D8 of the London Plan (2021), CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD5, DMD6, DMD7, DMD8, DMD37 and DMD83 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), HW-1, HW- 11, HW-12 and HW-14 of the Hadley Wood Neighbourhood Plan (2023).
The proposed development, in the absence of adequate justification to demonstrate safe and shared pedestrian access commensurate with the use proposed, would give rise to unsafe pedestrian movements, contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies T2, T3 and T4 of the London Plan (2021) CP25 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD8, DMD45 and DMD47 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
