Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on industrial floor space within a strategic industrial location
- the effect of the development on the viability and vitality of Enfield town centres
- the effect of the development on highway safety and parking
- whether the development provides adequate cycle parking facilities
What decided it
The development would result in the loss of industrial floorspace within a strategic industrial location and would constitute a main town centre use (bar and restaurant) in an unsuitable location without a sequential test assessment, conflicting with core development plan policies protecting industrial land and directing such uses to town centres.
