Middlesex University Campus Trent Park : Planning Statement 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This Planning Statement has been prepared on behalf of Berkeley Homes (North East London) Limited (hereafter referred to as ‘Berkeley’) to assist the London Borough of Enfield (LBE) in its consideration of an application for planning permission and listed building consent for development of the Former Middlesex University Campus Trent Park (hereafter referred to as the ‘Application Site’). The application seeks the following (hereafter referred to as the ‘Proposed Development’): “Full planning permission for the demolition of Bevan Hall, Lakeview, Wisteria Building, Jebb Building, the Student Union, Gubbay Hall, the Sports Hall, Sassoon Hall, the Bothy, South Lodge and ancillary structures. Restoration and change of use of the site’s heritage assets from institutional use (Use Class D1 and C2) to residential use (Use Class C3), with part of the ground floor and basement of the Mansion House in community use (Use Class D1). Change of use and extension to the Orangery for leisure use (Use Class D2). Construction of new residential development (Use Class C3) in the form of houses and apartments with associated car and cycle parking (surface, basement and private garages) and amenity space, with a total provision of 262 dwellings. Comprehensive landscape restoration scheme to deliver publically accessible amenity space, to include sustainable drainage features, planting and tree works. Refurbishment of existing outdoor tennis courts. Various vehicular, cycle and pedestrian routes through the site. Works to formalise the hockey club’s car parking facilities. Alterations to Snakes Lane at the junction with Bramley Road to include a turning circle with bus shelter, garage and cycle parking, along with new pedestrian crossings. All associated infrastructure works. Listed building consent for the demolition of extensions to the Mansion House and Orangery, followed by various works to the Mansion House and its terrace and forecourt, the swimming pool/Orangery, Wisteria Walk and the Registered Park as part of their restoration, conversion and/or extension”. 1.2 The purpose of this Planning Statement is to assess the Proposed Development against the relevant local, London-wide and national planning policy and other material considerations. To do this, it draws from other documents and information accompanying the planning and listed building consent applications (hereafter referred to as the ‘application’) to which the reader should refer for further detail. 1.3 By way of context, the site was vacated by Middlesex University in 2012 and purchased by the Allianze University College of Medical Sciences (AUCMS) in 2013. AUCMS went into liquidation in November 2014, leaving the site with an uncertain future. The former university campus, which had been vacant for three years, was put up for sale and acquired by Berkeley in September 2015. Berkeley has been working with a team of specialist advisers to secure a long- term solution for this Major Developed Site in the Green Belt, seeking to develop a viable scheme which both respects the Green Belt and the site’s 12045128v10 P1 Former Middlesex University Campus Trent Park : Planning Statement heritage assets, based on a conservation and landscape-led approach which will benefit current and future generations. As set out under the above description of the Proposed Development, Berkeley’s plans for the site comprise residential-led development (Use Class C3) with some community uses including a museum/café/event space (Use Class D1) and a gym (Use Class D2), focused on the restoration of the site’s listed heritage assets and landscape including the Mansion House. 1.4 The proposals have been subject to comprehensive pre-application discussions with the London Borough of Enfield (LBE) (under a Planning Performance Agreement), Urban Design London (as part of their design

    Guide to London’s Geological Sites GLA 55: Trent Park, Potential LIGS London Borough of Enfield, TQ 281 969 Ownership: Local Authority. Open access. Glacial Valleys Trent Park displays 4 different rock types and so is an excellent location for studying the influence the varied geology has had on the landscape. Areas of high ground are dissected by the Leeging Beech Gutter running through the centre of the park and the Merryhills Brook to the south. Both streams rise from spring lines in the west of the park and flow in an easterly direction towards the River Lea. Spring lines pick up the junctions between the lithologies and the small streams emanating from them have, in places, cut deep ravines. This cannot be the product of normal rainfall and must have happened as the ice sheet retreated at the end of the Anglian glaciation about 400,000 years ago. During subsequent ice ages the glaciers did not reach as far as London but, when frozen ground melted, an immense volume of water would have been released accompanied by much slippage of the surface. Superficial geology Other evidence of the Anglian ice sheet can be found in Trent Park as glacial till on top of the ridge that runs from the main car park near the Cockfosters Road to the top of Snakes Lane and also on the more northerly ridge just outside the park area at Ferny Hill Farm. Actual exposures are hard to see unless there have been some temporary excavations, but small pieces of white chalk are sometimes visible amongst newly-ploughed earth in the fields surrounding the farm.

  • Winchmore Hill
    Enfield Society News No. 194, Summer 2014 Enfield’s ‘mini-Holland’ project: for and against In our last issue we discussed some of the proposals in Enfield Council’s bid under the London Mayor’s “mini-Holland” scheme to make the borough more cycle-friendly. On 10th March the Mayor announced that Enfield was one of three boroughs whose bids had been selected and that we would receive up to £30 million to implement the project. This provides a great opportunity to make extensive changes and improvements which will affect everyone who uses our streets and town centres, but there is not unanimous agreement that the present proposals are the best way of spending this money. The Council has promised extensive consultations before the proposals are developed to a detailed design stage, but it is not clear whether there are conditions attached to the funds which would prevent significant departures from the proposals in the bid. The Enfield Society thinks that it would be premature to express a definitive view until the options have been fully explored, but we are keen to participate in the consultation process, in accordance with the aim in our constitution to “ensure that new developments are environmentally sound, well designed and take account of the relevant interests of all sections of the community”. We have therefore asked two of our members to write columns for and against the current proposals, in order to stimulate discussion. A third column, from the Enfield Town Conservation Area Study Group, suggests a more visionary transformation of Enfield Town. Yes to mini-Holland! Doubts about mini- Let’s start with the people of Enfield.

  • Parks and Money
    Parks and money Green for Victory Issue 04 Trent Country Park Spring 2021 This is the first of Periscope’s research publications. However, this is by no means the first research project that our studio has undertaken. Research is and always has been deeply ingrained within our everyday. It is the way we think, talk, design and act. The Green for Victory series stems from our work over recent years with local authorities and public bodies across London; from the increasingly frequent conversations we have regarding quantifying and qualifying green space, and the simply impossible expectation that this can be done in one succinct line. From the green ‘war’ we find ourselves fighting daily. We would like to thank Dan Epstein for his infinite knowledge of London’s parks, and for being our critical friend for the project; our park storytellers for their generosity and time, and finally, a big thank you to our beloved parks for their perseverance.
