3, Wheatfields, EN3 5DW

1. 1.The proposed development, by reason of its proximity to surrounding residential properties, inappropriate siting along a quiet residential street, and proposed hours and intensity of use, would give rise to harmful noise and disturbance to occupiers of surrounding residential properties though intensive activity from delivery drivers and collection customers, which would compromise the peaceful enjoyment of surrounding residential dwellings. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policies D3, D13 and D14 of the London Plan (2021) Policies CP30 and CP32 of the Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD8 and DMD64 of the Development Management Document (2014) as well as the aims and intentions outlined within the NPPF (2024).
2. 2.In the absence of sufficient details on odour and fume attenuation equipment for the catering van, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would not give rise to harmful odour and fume expulsion. In the absence of this information and based on the development's close proximity to surrounding residential properties, the Local Planning Authority are not satisfied that neighbouring occupiers would be appropriately protected from exposure to harmful odours and fumes, compromising the peaceful enjoyment of surrounding dwellings. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policies D3 and D13 of the London Plan (2021), CP30 and CP32 of the Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD8 and DMD64 of the Development Management Document (2014) as well as the aims and intentions outlined within the NPPF (2024).
3. 3.In the absence of sufficient information to demonstrate that the development would not generate a significant increase on on-street car parking strain through vehicular movements of delivery drivers and collection customers, and in light of parking limitations along the street, the Local Planning Authority are not satisfied that the development would not result in significant overspill parking within the locality. Furthermore, in the absence of sufficient information to demonstrate that the operation of the proposed use would not impede upon access to the public footway to the front of the site, the Local Planning Authority are not satisfied that the development would have an acceptable impact upon pedestrian and vehicle safety. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policy T4 of the London Plan (2021), Policies DMD45 and DMD47 of the Development Management Document (2014) as well as the aims and intentions outlined within the NPPF (2024).
