Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lakes Estate Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, as the benefits were not demonstrated to be dependent on the particular form and extent of development proposed.

Framework references: 215

Plan policies cited: Policy HC1 of the London Plan March 2021, Policy 44 of the Development Management Document (DMD) Adopted November 2014, Policy 31 of The Enfield Plan Core Strategy 2010-2025
