TRENT PARK (MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY CAMPUS) UPDATE Noted. 7. LOCAL PLAN AND HERITAGE DESIGN PROJECTS UPDATE Noted. 8. PLANNING APPLICATION FOR 36, WALSINGHAM ROAD, ENFIELD The Judicial Review process was explained to members by A. Higham. It was stated that in view of the fact that the case had been quashed, the Group was required to put aside the original decision and look afresh at the current planning application. It was explained that members may or may not come to a different conclusion to one previously reached by the CAG. The discussion was led by the Enfield Town Study Group. The Group concluded that they did not have any issues with the application and ultimately took the view that there would be no harm to the character and appearance of conservation area as a result of the proposals. No Objection 9. PLANNING APPLICATIONS AND LISTED BUILDING APPLICATIONS FOR DISCUSSION (15/00852/FUL&15/00853/LBC: 510 Hertford Road, Enfield, EN3 5SS) - The CAG had no objection to the proposal to refurbish the Grade II listed 19th- century former public house and removal of unsympathetic accretive extensions/ additions to the listed building. However, concerns were noted particularly in regard to the encroachment of the proposed new development on the setting of the building. Although not adverse to a strong street presence, the high density layout of the masterplan was thought to constitute overdevelopment of the site. - It was noted that ‘Block A’ and ‘Block B’ illustrated in Drawing no. 1062-50 are not subordinate to the listed building in terms of height, massing and scale and do not afford the necessary space around the building in line with conservation best practice. The listed building appears somewhat ‘swamped’ by the new development. Attempts to step back the fourth storey do not go far enough in ameliorating the impact of the proposal on the listed building. Objection (15/01447/HOU) 79, Chase Side, Enfield, EN2 6NL - The group noted the attention to historical detail that had been evident in the application submission, particularly in regard to the reinstatement of the original railings and balcony. Although the single storey rear extension was noted as being significant in terms of massing and scale, it was felt that, on balance, it had been designed in a style that preserved the special architectural and historic interest Grade II listed 19th-century townhouse. -It was confirmed that any works to the compacted earth cellar would form part of a separate application. No Objection (15/01454/FUL) St Johns C of E Primary School, Theobalds Park Road, Enfield EN2 9BD -The group noted that this application constituted a revised submission of a planning application presented at the previous CAG meeting. -A more traditional materials palette had been used in the amended drawings, including slate and stock facing bricks in an English Bond, in line with the CAG’s previous comments. -The revised proposal includes a pitched double pile roof form that takes cues from the existing Victorian heritage assets on the site. -On balance the Group had no further objections to the scheme. No Objection 10. CHAIRMAN’S FEEDBACK FROM PLANNING COMMITTEE Noted. 11.
