Why it was refused

  1. The proposed ground floor arrangement would not result in a satisfactory layout by virtue of the lack of adequate functional communal space which would be disturbed by the passage of bicycles directly via the only communal space to be provided. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policies D6, T2 and T5 of the London Plan (2021), Core Policy 25 of Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD 5 and DMD 8, of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014).
  2. The proposed development, by reason of the siting of cycle parking within the rear garden and obstructed access route via the ground floor kitchen area, would fail to provide cycle parking provision in line with London Plan standards and would be prohibitive to the promotion of cycling as both a healthy and sustainable form of transport, contrary to Policies DMD 5, DMD 8 and DMD 47 of the Development Management Document (2014), Policies T2 and T5 of the London Plan (2021) and Core Policy 25 of Core Strategy (2010).

From the council's decision notice.
