Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Enfield Town Conservation Area
- the effect on the living conditions for existing nearby occupants with particular regards to privacy and outlook
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future intended occupiers with particular regards to privacy, outlook, sunlight and daylight, access arrangements, and convenient and accessible facilities for waste management
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the designated heritage asset (Enfield Town Conservation Area) combined with multiple failures to provide adequate living conditions for both existing and future occupants outweighed the limited public benefits of the scheme.
