The project is for the refurbishment of The Goat and for the removal of low quality later additions to be replaced with more sensitive extensions. For the car park / car wash at the rear of the site our proposal is for 9 new build residential units. The purpose of this Design & Access Statement is to propose a well considered and appropriate design for a site which both lends itself to residential development and is designated for potential development. In submitting this planning application we will look to continue to work closely with London Borough of Enfeld to provide well-designed homes that respond to site context, promote sustainable communities and to restore and enhance the public house. We believe the proposals are grounded in the context of the site and are appropriate in terms of massing, scale, use and location. This Design & Access Statement is submitted as part of a planning Bird’s eye view of site from the North with site highlighted (Bing Maps) application and is intended to be read alongside the associated drawings / documentation.

Key N The Goat Public House 6 Site Location / Character The site sits on the corner of Hertford Road (High Street) and Queensway. Neighbouring the site is a two storey restaurant fronting Hertford Road, with a fank wall bordering the site’s northern edge. The proximity to Hertford Road, green space, amenities and good transport links (PTAL zone 4) makes this site an ideal location for a residential development. 8 The site is not in a conservation area but The Goat Public House 7 has recently been locally listed. The area consists of predominantly 9 residential development, retail and industry. Surrounding the site is a large Tesco car park, the Electric Quarter residential development, industrial buildings and a restaurant. 6 Along Hertford Road (High Street), which is the main road in the area, there are shops / restaurants characterised By a variety of architectural styles. Typically buildings along Hertford Road are 4 2-4 storeys in height. 1 2 3 5 N Site/Location plan with the site highlighted (Bing Maps) 7 Streetscapes 1 The industrial buildings are still evident although there Industrial Building The Electric Quarter used to be more along Queensway and they were more 1 2 unifed than they are today. 2 The Electric Quarter is a new development consisting of a large number of residential units with some additional community facilities. 3 There is further evidence of the commercial / industrial warehouses along Queensway albeit less coherent. 4 The Goat Public House is detached and located on a prominent Corner site. It is mock Tudor in design. 5 Enfeld Mosque is also detached and is a local building of interest - taller than it’s neighbours. 6 Some new 4 storey residential development has been built opposite the site on Hertford Road. The Goat Pub 7 Industrial sheds sit behind the Tesco car park to the rear of 3 Industrial Building 4 the site. They have a distinct saw tooth roofine. 8 There are some coherent terraces in the High Street but generally it can be considered as a varied architectural mix. 9 The Tesco Car Park occupies a huge site behind our development site. Fronting Queensway it does not help give Queensway the street frontage it once benefted from and therefore detracts from the street. 8 Streetscapes Enfeld Mosque 5 6 Recent Residential Development 7 Industrial Buildings 8 The High Street 9 Supermarket Car Park 9 Frontages / Streetscapes To identify street frontages that have a positive presence reinforcing the streetscape we can look at both Hertford Road and Queensway’s architectural and townscape merit as well as its pedestrian and service offer. It is apparent that the Hertford Road has a consistent active frontage, albeit disparate in terms of architectural typology. What becomes apparent are the sections of missing frontage that have a negative streetscape impact. The summation of a terrace or street has the potential to work holistically giving streets ‘group value.’ Key Architectural/ Townscape Frontage Strong Frontage Weak Frontage N Missing Frontage Frontages 10 Frontages - Queensway Street & Hertford Road (High Street) Tesco Car Park The Goat Car Park Pub Bin Store Pub Rear Function Space The Goat Pub (Mock Tudor) CONTINUED IN FIG 2 Queensway Street Elevation Industrial Brick Buildings With ‘U’ Shape Yard Tesco Car Park Continued CONTINUED IN FIG 1 Queensway Street Elevation Continued Mock Edwardian Generic Facades Queensway Street Entry The Goat (Mock Tudor) Beer garden Restaurant Road Three Bay/ Three Storey Terraces and Shopping Arcade High Street Elevation 11 01.
