About this application
This is a planning application for a change of use at 36 Denny Road London N9 7QS. 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 1,113 applications in total for the N9 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The change of use into a house of multiple occupation (HMO) results in more than one property out of a consecutive row of five properties being converted and results in a clustering of conversions along this terrace of buildings, unduly at odds with the predominant pattern of single family dwellinghouses along the road, contrary to Policies CP30 of the Enfield Core Strategy (2010) and DMD5 and DMD 37 of the Enfield Development Management Document (2014) and National Planning Policy Framework (2026).
- The proposal, by reason of the constrained layout of the communal kitchen/dining area and the insufficient floor-to-ceiling height within Bedroom 4 in the dormer roofspace, would provide substandard and functionally inadequate accommodation, resulting in an unacceptable standard of residential amenity for future occupiers. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), Core Strategy Policies CP4 and CP30, Development Management Document Policies DMD5 and DMD8, and the relevant provisions of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
