Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first floor side extension, by virtue of its lack of separation from the side shared boundary with No.51 Slades Hill would lead to a terracing effect and would appear visually intrusive, incongruous, out of keeping with the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area of which it forms part. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D4, D5 of the London Plan (2021),policy CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), and policies DMD14 and DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
  2. The proposed first floor side extension, by virtue of its siting, depth, and lack of separation from the shared boundary with No. 51, would appear overly dominant and result in an unneighbourly loss of outlook and a heightened sense of enclosure when viewed from No. 51 Slades Hill. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D4 and D5 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), and Policies DMD11, DMD14 and DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).

From the council's decision notice.
