1. 1.The proposed development, by reason of the layout shown on the submitted plans, would result in the creation of three self-contained residential units rather than a Class C4 House in Multiple Occupation as described in the application. The proposal therefore does not accord with the description of development and insufficient information has been submitted to enable the Local Planning Authority to properly assess the land use proposed. The application is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the principles of sound decision making set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
2. 2.Whether considered as three self-contained residential units or as a House in Multiple Occupation (Use Class C4), the proposed development would, by reason of the inadequate size and layout of the accommodation, insufficient living space, inadequate kitchen facilities, absence of suitable communal accommodation and overall poor standard of internal environment, fail to provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupiers. The resulting living environment would be cramped, constrained and incapable of adequately meeting the day-to-day needs of future residents. The proposal would therefore fail to provide safe, functional and high-quality living accommodation and would create an unacceptable form of residential development to the detriment of the amenity and living conditions of future occupiers. As such, the development is contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CP4 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD5 and DMD8 of the Development Management Document (2014), the Technical Housing Standards - Nationally Described Space Standards, and the relevant guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
3. 3.The proposed development, by reason of the failure to demonstrate the provision of adequate, secure, accessible and deliverable cycle parking within land under the applicant's control, would fail to provide sufficient infrastructure to serve the future occupiers of the development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CP25 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010) and Policies DMD45 and DMD47 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), Policies T1 and T5 of the London Plan (2021) and the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
