Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its inadequate floor to ceiling height in bedroom 5 would result in a substandard and poor quality of accommodation incapable of meeting the reasonable needs of a future occupier. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies D4 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD5 and DMD8 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), Nationally Described Space Standard (2015) and Enfield HMO standards for bedsit/ letting rooms and shared accommodation (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
