Relevant Planning History: N07133T/01 - Erection of 1no. additional car parking space to the north of Ludgrove Hall. Refused 19/06/2001. Consultations and Views Expressed: Neighbours Consulted: 46 Replies: 6 Objections 7 in Support Neighbours Wishing To Speak 4 The objections raised may be summarised as follows: Estate is within a Conservation Area and the permission will diminish soft landscaping and the character of the area. Permission was previously refused. Reasons should still stand. UDP encourages car free developments. Established planting lost. Impact on the Listed Building. Excessive hardstanding visible from gates entering development. Steps to the main garden are blocked by cars parking. Concerns regarding land ownership. Applicant did not consult with other residents in the Ludgrove Hall Estate. Loss of amenity. Sale of one of the flats is dependant on the additional, unlawful parking space. Internal /Other Consultations: London Borough of Enfield - No response received when writing the report. Any response will be reported at the meeting. Trees and Landscaping - Damage to the tree of special amenity value may have already been done. There is no tree reason for refusal, however, separate action may be taken pursuant to ss207 (Tree Replacement) and 210 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended. Monken Hadley and Wood Street CAAC - 3 No comment. Date of Site Notice: 21 October 2010 2. PLANNING APPRAISAL Site Description and Surroundings: The application site relates to an existing car parking area within the grounds of Ludgrove Hall, a locally listed building. It is a private estate. The site is within the Monken Hadley Conservation Area. The site abuts a protected Sycamore tree. Proposal: Planning permission is sought for the retention of an extension to the existing hardstanding area to create an additional parking space. The work has already been carried out. Overall the extension to the existing hardstanding is some 7m by 1.9m. Planning Considerations: Planning permission for a similar, slightly larger extension to the hardstanding was refused in June 2001 for the following reason: The proposed car parking space would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of this part of the Trent Park West Conservation Area and would result in the loss of planting and damage to a preserved tree. In this regard the proposals would be contrary to policies T1.1; T1.2; T3.1 and E2.1 of the Barnet Unitary Development Plan (1991) and Policies D2; D11; D12; D13 and HC1 of the Reserved Draft Deposit Unitary Development Plan (2001). The application was refused as it was considered that the development may cause the loss of, or damage to a protected Sycamore tree which would have a resultant impact on the character and appearance of the site and the Conservation Area. Circumstances have changed in that the development has been undertaken and as such any damage to the tree will already have been done, it is not therefore possible to refuse permission on these grounds. Should significant damage/loss of the tree occur as a result of these works then the Council could take action in respect of this damage/loss. This addition to the hardstanding is not considered to harm the character and appearance of the site or the Conservation Area nor does it harm the residential amenities of neighbouring occupiers. 4 3. COMMENTS ON GROUNDS OF OBJECTIONS Mainly addressed in the appraisal. Ownership is not a material planning consideration. 4. EQUALITIES AND DIVERSITY ISSUES The proposals do not conflict with either Barnet Council’s Equalities Policy or the commitments set in our Equality Scheme and supports the council in meeting its statutory equality responsibilities. 5. CONCLUSION The development has an acceptable impact on the character and appearance of the application site and Conservation Area. The development will not harm the residential amenities of neighbouring occupiers. Accordingly approval is recommended. 5 SITE LOCATION PLAN: Ludgrove Hall Estate, Games Road, Cockfosters, Herts, EN4 9HX REFERENCE: B/04047/10 © Crown Copyright. All rights reserved.
