Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of the poor internal layouts result in substandard and inappropriate accommodation incapable of meeting the reasonable needs of occupiers, contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D3, D4, D5, D6, D8 of the London Plan (2021), CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD6, DMD8, DMD9 and DMD37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014) and the London Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance (2016).
- The proposed cycle storage, by virtue of its means of access, location and layout would fail to provide a secure, convenient and high quality facility for all types of bicycles and would fail to promote or prioritise the use of sustainable modes of transport, contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policies T2, T3, T4, T6, and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021), CP25 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD45, DMD47 and DMD48 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
- The proposed development, in the absence of off-site parking provision, would contribute unacceptably to parking congestion on the public highway and surrounding area which would give rise to conditions prejudicial to the free flow and safety of vehicular traffic and pedestrians, and fail to encourage sustainable modes of transport, contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies T2, T3, T4, T6, T6.1 and T7 of the London Plan (2021), CP24 and CP25 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD45, DMD47 and DMD48 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), the Revised Technical Standards for Footway Crossovers (2013) and the Section 106 Supplementary Planning Document (2016).
