110 Burleigh Road, ENFIELD, EN1 1NU

retrospective planning permission for change of use from single family dwellinghouse (Class C3) to a 7-person House in Multiple Occupation (Class C4)

Authority: London Borough of Enfield
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Robbie K

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the use of the outbuilding as HMO accommodation on the character and appearance of the appeal site and of the area
Whether the outbuilding would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
The effect of the use of the outbuilding as HMO accommodation on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of 108 and 112 Burleigh Road with particular regard to outlook, privacy, and light
The effect of the use of the outbuilding as HMO accommodation on the demand for on-street car parking
The provision of refuse storage and cycle parking for occupants of the outbuilding

What decided it

The use of the outbuilding as primary HMO accommodation with independent access, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and unacceptable loss of privacy for neighbours, conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to warrant approval.
