About this application
This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 88 Greenwood Avenue Enfield EN3 5DX. Enfield has handled 10,002 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days, 7 days longer than Enfield's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There have been 2 other applications at this address. We hold 2,955 applications in total for the EN3 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by reason of Bedroom 2's inadequate width and excessively narrow layout would give rise to substandard and inappropriate accommodation, incapable of meeting the reasonable needs of occupiers of this particular bedroom. The development is thereby contrary to Policies; D3 and D6 of the London Plan, CP 4 and CP 30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010), DMD 5, DMD 6, and DMD 8 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014), in addition to the high-quality design aspirations set out within the NPPF (2026).
From the council's decision notice.
