Hadley Wood Northwest Weak in terms of 19,520m² loss Green Belt – 5-21 & 120- designating urban housing 128 Waggon Road as Green Belt, with the Hadley Wood adjacent housing not being under the Green Belt designation.

Description: The Green Belt boundary in this section runs partly in front the houses on the north side Justification: Amending the Green Belt boundary to exclude these houses helps maintain a consistent rural-urban of Waggon Road Hadley Wood, then returns to run along their rear boundaries, which also constitutes interface. Removing this area from the Green Belt would create a consistent designation status for all of Hadley as the borough boundary. The boundary wraps in a similar way around the houses on the southern side Wood. The current Green Belt designation of this area is an historical legacy arising from the blanket Green Belt of Waggon Road at Nos. 120-128. These houses occupy an area of 1.83 ha transferred from Hertsmere designation of the rural parts of Herts, inherited in the 1994 borough and county boundary change. borough at the borough and county boundary changes in 1994. This area was transferred in order to bring these houses under the same local and county governments as the rest of Hadley Wood. They are designated as Green Belt because this is the default designation for nearly the entire rural part of Hertfordshire, a designation whose boundary at this point disregarded the fact that these houses, although previously in Herts, function as part of Hadley Wood in Enfield borough and Greater London. The adjacent part of Herts immediately north of these houses, in Hertsmere borough, is designated as Green Belt under the Hertfordshire Structure Plan. The borough and Green Belt boundary at the rear of these houses marks the line of transition from the highly cultivated rear gardens of the houses to the agricultural landscape to the north, with an intervening hedge line along the boundary. The Green Belt boundary at the front runs along Waggon Road, and the southern side of Waggon Road is lined with large dwellings and thus has an urban character.

Description: Justification: The current Green Belt boundary follows the eastern boundary of Kingswood and Redgate Nurseries, The northern section of the site adjoins the M25 and has been maintained as an area of open grassland, continuing the and aligns with the highways, Bullsmoor Lane and Great Cambridge Road. This area of Green Belt is sense of openness and congruous with the rest of the green belt to the west where there is an extensive area of open surrounded by residential development to the east and south which are outside of the designation; the grounds/gardens associated with Capel Manor. However, the southern part of the site contains a number of M25, Capel Manor with its college, house and extensive gardens, and verges of open space continue this structures/uses including commercial premises associated with a number of different retail activities (aquatic centre, area of Green Belt, to the north and west respectively. pet and garden centre), residential properties, areas of hardstanding, advertisements associated with the commercial uses of the site, and boundary treatments enclosing the northern, and parts of the eastern boundaries. The southern part of the site, is juxtaposed between the area of rural Green Belt to the west and urban/suburban residential development on its eastern and southern flanks, and therefore represents a difficult interface between 2 areas of distinct character. The intensification of development on the site, has over the years resulted in a visual and functional relationship this site now has with the development character to the east, creating a greater distinction between this site and the wider green belt beyond. This distinction demonstrates the vulnerability of the Green Belt boundary in this location, and therefore an alternative, stronger boundary has been considered. The New River provides an strong landscape feature boundary to the west and the northern physical boundary treatment, a combination of brick wall, building lines and tress that physically and visually divides the northern and southern sections of the site, represent a stronger Green Belt boundary. This would allow features that are still intrinsically linked to Green Belt to remain within this designation .

The existing Green Belt boundary was aligned with the boundary of the former sewage treatment works. Since this time, the development of Innova Park has created new development boundaries corresponding to the new building footprints. In relation to the new development, this section of the boundary appears to follow an arbitrary line with no definitive marker on the ground. The development boundaries are demarcated by boundary treatment which offer a more appropriate alternative boundary. The boundaries of the development also correspond to the boundary of the Strategic Industrial Location designation covering Innova Park, and would therefore mark a line between different land uses.

The current Green Belt boundary follows the edge of Ordnance Road as it existed at that time. Since then, the road layout has been altered as part of the redevelopment at Enfield Island Village to provide vehicular and pedestrian access to and from the site. This means that the southern tip of Rammey Marsh, which was originally open space and therefore consistent with its designation as Green Belt, now forms part an enhanced highway access along Ordnance Road. Due to the nature of this change, this land no longer contributes towards the wider objectives of the Green Belt function and therefore provides an opportunity to realign the boundary of the Green Belt to the new highway.

Two large permanent building structures provide a natural boundary defining the perimeter of the property boundary. The green belt boundary then continues westerly along the perimeter line to the point at which it then joins at the building line of the south- western most building. From aerial photos and a recent site visit, it is clear to see that the adjacent open space has been littered with abandoned vehicles, building materials and other miscellaneous products which have led to the degradation of its open space appearance. In consideration of whether the green belt boundary should be moved to follow the property curtilage of this site, it is proposed that no alteration is proposed across the south facing elevation of the aforementioned building. This will ensure a good degree of permanence and prevent any encroachment into the Green Belt.

As such, it is proposed, that the Green Belt boundary aligns to the existing line of trees, which is currently used to delineate the Prince of Wales School field with Newbury Avenue Allotments, to provide the datum point for where the western extent of the Green Belt is more likely to endure. This way mark is considered to be strong and defensible enough to ensure continuity of the boundary.

Description: This site is located to the east of the A1055 Meridian Way at its junction with Picketts Lock Justification: The current Green Belt boundary currently runs east to west through a car park and south along the Lane. The area comprises The Lee Valley Athletics Stadium complex, a large vacant storage, roads edge therefore, excluding the distribution centre out of the Green Belt designation. In its current position there warehousing and distribution centre and associated car parking space which is laid out in between appears to be no definitive physical boundary. It is considered that the only alternative in this circumstance is to align both sites. the boundary to the front building line, wrapping the Green Belt to its eastern elevation would serve to protect the Green Belt designation in a vulnerable location. Much of this site has been developed within the last ten years for sport and recreational value. The large warehousing building located to the south west of the site could become available for development should the current building remain unoccupied for long lengths of time. To ensure this does not have a negative impact of the setting of the Green Belt designation, it is proposed that the line be drawn east to west along the building line and continue along its eastern elevation along the building line up until Picketts Lock Lane. The proposed realignment will serve to strengthen and provide a coherent and defensible Green Belt boundary that endures.

The Green Belt boundary will space housing a pylon. then continue along the northern bank of the River Lee to its end point. The consideration for this proposal is borne out of the need to tightly define the area of Green Belt on the eastern edge to prevent encroachment onto the open land and also to loosen the boundary on its western side to ensure flexibility and to facilitate access to the road for statutory undertakers. The eastern edge of Harbet Road has the least number of breaks and provides an almost linear route along the road to the river. The western side of the road heavily relies on the buildings in situ, which have no statutory protection from demolition. As such the eastern side of Harbet Road is considered to be strong and clear in defending it against inappropriate development.
