73 Malvern Road Enfield EN3 6DD

1. 1.The proposed change of use to a large House in Multiple Occupation (sui generis) would intensify the use of the site beyond that which is characteristic of the surrounding residential area. The increased number of occupants, visitors, vehicle movements and associated day-to-day activities would give rise to undue levels of noise, disturbance and general activity, prejudicing the amenities of adjoining and nearby residential occupiers. As such, the proposal would represent an over-intensive form of development that would be harmful to residential amenity and the character of the area, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010) and Policy DMD 68 of the Development Management Document (2014).
2. 2.The proposed hip to gable roof extension, by reason of its design and scale, would result in an incongruous, and unsightly form of development that erode the character of the established semi- detached dwelling pair and wider streetscape roof profile character. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies D3 and SI 7 of the London Plan, Core Strategy Policies CP30, and Policies DMD 6, DMD 8, DMD 13 and DMD 37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), in addition to the high-quality design aspirations of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
3. 3.The proposed development, by reason of the increased number of vehicle movements associated with the intensified use of the site, would give rise to harmful impacts on street parking congestion and result in conditions prejudicial to the free flow and safety of vehicular traffic and pedestrian movements. In the absence of sufficient information demonstrating that the level of parking provision and highway impacts would be commensurate with the use proposed, the development is considered unacceptable and contrary to Section 9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026), Policies T2, T3, T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021), CP24 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), and Policies DMD45 and DMD48 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).

From the council's decision notice.
