Scheme description

Change of use of existing rear outbuilding from incidental residential (Class E) to a mixed use comprising a home gym/workspace and a limited number of pre-booked personal training sessions (RETROSPECTIVE)

Why it was refused
Reason 1

The development, in the absence of sufficiently detailed information about the proposed scale and operation of the use, particularly in relation to the proposed personal training sessions, has failed to demonstrate that the development would be acceptable within a residential setting, and would not have an adverse impact in terms of residential character, noise and general disturbance, and parking demand. The development is therefore contrary to Policies D6 and D14 of the London Plan (2021), Core Policies 30 and 32 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), and Policies DMD 8, DMD 12, DMD 37 and DMD 68 of the Development Management Document (2014). Dated: 9 June 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 Jeremiah.ayerh@enfield.gov.uk.
