3. Existing Land Uses and Activities

Introduction This Chapter presents a summary of the predominant existing land uses and activities currently located on, and around the Site. It also identifies the key environmental characteristics of the Site and its adjacent areas, thereby identifying potentially sensitive receptors which may be affected by the Development. A full description of the baseline conditions relevant to each technical assessment of the EIA is provided within each technical chapter of this ES (Chapters 7 to 17) and Volume 4.

Location, Setting and Historical Context of the Site As described within Chapter 1, and illustrated on Figure 1.1, the Site is located within the administrative boundary of LBE. Centred at Ordnance Survey Grid Reference 534501,193508, the Site has an area of approximately 9.55ha. The extent of the Site is illustrated in Figure 1.2. The Site is bound by Monmouth Road to the north, St Martins Road and Plevna Road to the east, Plevna Road to the south and the A1010 to the west. Edmonton Green national rail and London Overground station is located to the west of the Site on the opposite side of the A1010. Salmons Brook is culverted under the southern part of the Site. As historic mapping has shown, the Site and its surrounds were historically predominantly farmland and nurseries, with a few residential buildings present although a post medieval quarry has been identified within the Site. Substantial development occurred between the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. This eventually led to the loss of previously open land between Lower and Upper Edmonton, creating a physical connection between both settlements. The Edmonton Green Shopping Centre (comprising the North Mall, South Mall and North Square) within the Site and three residential towers (referred to as Grampian House, Mendip House, and Pennine House) located above the Shopping Centre but outside of the Site boundary, was built in the early 1970s with associated car parks and sub-station. A bus way was also developed on the slip road, in the northwest area of the Site in the late 1990s. An Asda superstore, Sports Leisure Centre and associated carpark and further housing (referred to as Methven Court) were built in 2007. The South Mall was refurbished in 2011 and the North Square in 2013. The Applicant acquired the shopping centre in 2018. The location of these residential and commercial buildings on-Site are shown on Figure 1.3.

Topography The south of the Site is set at approximately 13.5m AOD and gradually rises to 14.3m AOD in the north.

Predominant Land Uses and Activities The following sections should be read in conjunction with Figures 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, which illustrate the predominant land uses currently existing both immediately surrounding and within the Site as well as historic assets within the vicinity of the Site. Figure 3.4 shows the environmental constraints within and adjacent to the Site as well as the potentially sensitive receptors within 250m of the Site.

Existing Land Uses Surrounding the Site Figure 3.1 illustrates the predominant land uses surrounding the Site within a 250m radius. Land uses in the wider area are predominantly residential, with some commercial, leisure and community uses. As indicated on Figure 3.1, the following land uses are surrounded by, but excluded, from the Site boundary:  Edmonton Leisure Centre, located in the western surrounds of the Site, which provides community leisure uses including a swimming pool and sports facilities;  The Evergreen Primary Health Care Centre (including the Rainbow Health Practice) located in the western surrounds of the Site;  A Travelodge hotel located in the western surrounds of the Site; and  Residential accommodation located in the western, eastern and centre surrounds of the Site including those within: - Three 1970s 26-storey towers which collectively form the Edmonton Green Estate (referred to as Grampian House with 188 residential units, Mendip House with 184 residential units, and Pennine House with 188 residential units); - Geary Court (51 residential units); - Golden Lion Court (14 residential units); - Brickland Court (26 residential units); and - Methven Court (85 residential units). The Site is located immediately to the east of Edmonton Green Station which is served by the London Overground and National Rail services. A cemetery lies adjacent to the south east of the Site. Edmonton Police Station borders the south west corner of the Site and Edmonton Baptist Church lies adjacent to the north west corner of the Site. A list of potentially sensitive receptors and surrounding land uses is provided in Table 3.2 later in this Chapter.

Key Environmental Characteristics

Townscape, Built Heritage and Visual The wider area surrounding the Site comprises a mixed townscape typical of a busy town centre location, with the majority of buildings in commercial, retail or residential use and reflecting the locality’s historic residential and rural character. Built up from the early-18th Century as a fashionable, semi-rural locality with good transport links into London, Edmonton’s main thoroughfares comprise late-Georgian and Victorian public, commercial and residential buildings. These streets, and those nearby, are interspersed with early-20th Century, post-war and modern developments, which become more prevalent as the town centre and Site are approached.

Edmonton Green Town Centre, Enfield Chapter 3: Existing Land Uses and Activities ES Volume 1: Main Text Page 3 WIE16206 Chapter 3 Existing Land Uses and Activities 1.3.1 (final)

The locality’s arterial routes, railway lines and station form a key feature of the area and define movement through Edmonton. Other important townscape features include green and open spaces, such as the Barrowfield allotments, located immediately east of the Site, and the All Saints Church yard and Montague Cemeteries. The Site does not contain any statutorily listed or locally listed buildings, although The Crescent Conservation Area (CA) overlaps the northern boundary of the Site. The Montagu Cemeteries and Church Street / Fore Street Edmonton CAs are located immediately to the east and west respectively (as shown in Figure 3.2). Comprising three separate burial grounds, the Montagu Cemeteries CA is characterised by densely packed, uniform graves interrupted by a small number of religious buildings. The Crescent CA comprises early 19th Century terraced properties, of four storeys and listed at Grade II, which form a single architectural composition. The Church Street / Fore Street CA is characterised by street frontages made up of grouped commercial and residential properties dating from the 18th Century to mid-20th Century, with the Grade II* listed Church of All Saints Edmonton and its verdant churchyard forming a key feature of the locality. Together these CAs form large areas of sensitive land from which views of the Development will need to be considered. There are several listed buildings within the vicinity of the Site, including the aforementioned Church of All Saints Edmonton and Lamb’s Cottage, both listed at Grade II*. Built in phases between the 12th Century and 18th Century and restored in the mid-19th Century onwards, the Church of All Saints is sited approximately 400m west of the Site. Lamb’s Cottage, a fine 17-19th Century residence associated with Charles and Mary Lamb, is also experienced in this context as it is located approximately 125m east of the church, closer to the Site. Other nearby designated heritage assets also front the main routes through the area, namely Fore Street, Hertford Road and Church Street. Additionally, several locally listed buildings are in close proximity to the Site, including the Edmonton Baptist Church, Edmonton Green Station and Post Office. The Site does not lie within any panoramas or protected vistas identified in the London View Management Framework. The Site is located within Important Local Views locally identified by LBE. Further details are provided in Volume 4: Townscape, Built Heritage and Visual Impact Assessment.

Archaeology There are no recorded designated archaeological assets (World Heritage Sites, Scheduled Monuments, Registered Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields or Protected Wreck Sites) within the Site or the wider 500m study area. The western edge of the Site is located within the Lower Edmonton Archaeological Priority Area (APA). Little is currently known about this APA as it is not due to be reviewed by the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service (GLAAS) in further detail until 2024, however, it is thought to encompass the earliest settlement of Lower Edmonton. Four further APAs lie within the study area. There are 46 non-designated heritage assets within the Site and a 500m study area. Two of these are located within the Site and denote the site of a post-medieval quarry where late medieval and post-medieval pottery in the backfill were recovered during an evaluation undertaken by the Museum of London Archaeology Service (now Museum of London Archaeology, MOLA) between 2004-2005. The remaining assets, which are located outside of the Site boundary, range from

Edmonton Green Town Centre, Enfield Chapter 3: Existing Land Uses and Activities ES Volume 1: Main Text Page 4 WIE16206 Chapter 3 Existing Land Uses and Activities 1.3.1 (final)

the Palaeolithic to the modern period and predominantly consist of medieval and post-medieval assets including gullies, wells, walls, pits and drains. The Greater London Historic Environment Record (GLHER) data indicates that the medieval quarry may have encompassed the entire Site although the MOLA 2004 report1 seems to indicate that, outside of their evaluation areas, modern construction is thought to have removed archaeological remains. However, it is unclear whether the full scope of the evaluation was completed. As such the statement on removal of archaeological remains cannot currently be corroborated. Although the impact that the construction of the shopping centre had on archaeological remains is currently not understood, it is considered that this would have truncated and/or removed some archaeological remains. However, there may be archaeological remains surviving in previously undisturbed pockets of the Site. As described in ES Chapter 2: EIA Methodology, a programme of archaeological mitigation is to be undertaken in those areas of the Site not previously subject to investigation and is anticipated to be secured by planning condition. Further details are provided in Appendix 2.5: Archaeological Desk Based Assessment.

Socio-Economics As of mid-2018 the population of LBE was estimated to be 333,869. This represents a population increase of just over 20% when compared to the year 2000 estimated population. The population is forecast to increase further by 17.2% to 386,000 by 2040. In 2018, 106,000 jobs were based within LBE, with the retail sector offering the highest number of jobs. The number of jobs in LBE are forecast to increase to 5,200 new jobs between 2019 and 2036. Existing employment is estimated to be in the region of 12,250 employees at the Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) for the Site, as reported in Chapter 7: Socio-Economics. There are three play spaces within 700m of the Site, including:  a pocket park at Bedevere Road, 250m from the western Site boundary;  a play space on Plevna Road classified as a small open space, 350m from the eastern Site boundary; and  a play area at Montagu Recreation ground, classified as a local park and open space, 700m from the eastern Site boundary. Within 1km of the Site there are 4 GP surgeries and 4 dentists. There are 8 primary schools within a 1km walkable catchment from the Site, the nearest of which is St Edmunds Catholic Primary School, located approximately 440m north east of the Site. The nearest secondary school is AIM Academy North London located approximately 800m north east of the Site. A further 14 secondary schools are located within a 4.8km walkable catchment from the Site. It should be noted that the LBE forecasts an increasing demand for school places in the borough between 2019 and 20292. LBE states that these longer term projections will be subject to more detailed analysis and should be regarded as an initial guide. For further details refer to Chapter 7: Socio-Economics.

Transport and Access

Road Network The Site is bound by Monmouth Road to the north, St Martins Road and Plevna Road to the east, Plevna Road to the south and the A1010 to the west. In the immediate vicinity of the Site, the A1010 comprises Hertford Road (northern aspect), The Broadway and The Green (centre aspect) and Fore Street (southern aspect). The Site and surrounding roads are located within the London Low Emission Zone (LEZ). There are a number of vehicular accesses to the Site from the A1010, Monmouth Road, St Martins Road and Plevna Road. However, the primary vehicular access is from the A1010 which serves the main car parks. There is a bus access to the on-Site bus station from the A1010. Deliveries to the Asda superstore are routed via Plevna Road.

Public Transport The Site has a range of Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL), from 6a (the second best out of a possible 9 levels) in the western part of the Site, changing to 5 in the centre of the Site and to 4 in the north-east of the Site (the fourth best out of a possible 9 levels). This indicates that the Site is currently well served by public transport. The Site contains Edmonton Green bus station and is also served by bus stops along the A1010 and Plevna Road. Edmonton Green station is located to the west of the Site, with national rail (operated by Greater Anglia) and London Overground services between London Liverpool Street, Enfield Town, Cheshunt and Hertford East stations.

Pedestrian and Cycle Access There are two main pedestrian access points, one from the A1010 Fore Street to the southern part of the Site and another from the A1010 The Green which allows access from the rail station and bus station. Secondary accesses are via North Square from Monmouth Road and in several locations on Plevna Road. A public footpath, the Salmons Brook path, is located off Plevna Road, which forms part of the Pymmes Brook trail, leading to Picketts Lock along the River Lea to the east of the Site. There is also a shared use pedestrian and cycle route south-east off Plevna Road towards Meridian Water, along the southern boundary of Edmonton Federation Cemetery. A number of local cycle routes are located in the surrounding area. These consist of a combination of cycle tracks (segregated) and cycle lanes (with-traffic) along the A1010 adjacent to the Site and a route along Plevna Road. There are no National Cycle Network routes within the surrounding road network, although a cycle route commences to the west of the Site on Bridge Road towards Enfield. Cyclists are able to access the Site from a number of locations along the A1010 and Plevna Road. For further details refer to Chapter 8: Transport and Access.

Air Quality

In accordance with the UK’s Air Quality Strategy (AQS)3 and part IV of the Environment Act4, LBE has reviewed, and will continue to review, the ambient air quality within their administrative boundary. Work to date has concluded that levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter

Edmonton Green Town Centre, Enfield Chapter 3: Existing Land Uses and Activities ES Volume 1: Main Text Page 6 WIE16206 Chapter 3 Existing Land Uses and Activities 1.3.1 (final)

(PM10) have exceeded permitted levels within the Borough. As such the entire Borough has been declared an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) for annual mean NO2 and 24-hour-mean PM10 objectives 5. Existing sensitive receptors located within the vicinity of the Site are residential properties, including those on Site, and ecological receptors. Future sensitive receptors within the locality will include the new residential dwellings. Further details of the air quality conditions at the Site are provided in Chapter 9: Air Quality. Noise In agreement with Environmental Health at Enfield Council, baseline noise conditions have been inferred from a review of Extrium Noise Maps, Department for Transport (DfT) traffic count data and planning applications local to the Site. The predominant sources of noise at the Site and surrounds are anticipated to arise from the local road network (particularly Fore Street, The Broadway and The Green), the on-Site bus station, the adjacent Edmonton Green National Rail and London Overground station and commercial land- uses. The elevated railway line located greater than 65m from the Site would give rise to discernible although not dominant, noise. Existing and future sensitive receptors would be similar to those identified above for air quality. Further details are provided in Chapter 11: Noise and Vibration.

Ground Conditions and Contamination British Geological Survey (BGS) data and information from previous desk studies (refer to Appendix 12.1) show that the geological sequence at the Site comprises up to 0.3m of hardstanding, 0.3–0.8m made ground, then 0.8 – 2m Enfield Silt Member and 2–5m of Kempton Park Gravel Member. The underlying London Clay Formation is about 12m thick, over about 10m of Lambeth Group, 10–15m of Thanet Formation and more than 30m of Chalk Formation beneath. The Environment Agency (EA) has classified the Enfield Silt and London Clay Formation as Unproductive Strata. The Kempton Park Gravel Member, Lambeth Group and Thanet Formation are Secondary A Aquifers and the Chalk Formation is classified as a Principal Aquifer. The Site is located within a Zone II (outer protection) Groundwater Source Protection Zone (SPZ). SPZ are areas defined by the Environment Agency where certain developments, with a greater potential to result in groundwater contamination may be restricted or where additional mitigation may be required to protect public water supply boreholes from groundwater contamination. A review of historical maps obtained from Groundsure Insight has been undertaken. Potentially contaminative uses were identified on the Site from the 1860s to present, including railway uses between the1860s and early 1970s, after which they were dismantled. The Eastern Railway line now runs 100m west of the Site and serves Edmonton Green Station adjacent to the Site. Other potentially contaminative features identified between the 1870s and the 1920s include storage tanks, a rubber mill and industrial buildings. An electrical substation and car parks associated with the Edmonton Green Shopping Centre were constructed on-Site during the 1970s. It is expected that much of the Site would have been remediated during the construction

Edmonton Green Town Centre, Enfield Chapter 3: Existing Land Uses and Activities ES Volume 1: Main Text Page 7 WIE16206 Chapter 3 Existing Land Uses and Activities 1.3.1 (final)

works undertaken on Site in the 2000s and 2010s to create the Asda and leisure centre, however there remains the potential for contamination to be present beneath areas of the Site. Further details are provided in Chapter 12: Ground Conditions and Contamination.

Water Resources and Flood Risk The Salmons Brook is culverted beneath the Site, running from the north west to south east. The culvert flows into an open channel of the Salmons Brook to the east of the Site boundary before connecting to the Pymmes Brook further downstream. According to the EA, both Pymmes and Salmons Brook have overall moderate ecological potential. As such, a Water Framework Directive Assessment has been prepared and submitted with the planning application (Appendix 13.3) to assess whether the Development would affect the moderate ecological potential of this water body. A number of reservoirs are located within the wider area, including the William Girling reservoir approximately 1.66km east of the Site, Banbury reservoirs 2.26km south-east of the Site and King George reservoir approximately 2.55km north-east of the Site. According to the EA Flood Map for Planning6, the majority of the Site is located within Flood Zone 1 (denoted as being at low risk of fluvial and tidal flooding). However, flood modelling provided for the Site indicates that there is a portion of the Site at Hertford Road and New Road which is located within Flood Zone 2 (denoted as being at medium risk of fluvial and tidal flooding). In line with the National Planning Policy Framework7 (NPPF), a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) has been undertaken and is provided at Appendix 13.1. This constraint has been considered within the development design and is discussed further in Chapter 4. Further details are provided in Chapter 13: Water Resources and Flood Risk and Appendix 13.3: Water Framework Directive Assessment.

Ecology The Site is not covered by any statutory or non-statutory nature conservation designations and no statutory designated sites are located within 1km of the Site. However, Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Lee Valley Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site are both located within 5km of the Site (refer to Figure 14.1 on ecological designated sites). Consequently, a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) Screening Report was submitted to Natural England and LBE to determine whether an HRA Appropriate Assessment (AA) is required to be submitted as part of the planning application. The LBE HRA’s Screening Opinion determined that an HRA AA is required. A Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) Appropriate Assessment (AA) has therefore been prepared as part of the planning application (Appendix 14.3) to determine whether there would be any Likely Significant Effects to these European designated sites as a result of the Development. This is referenced in the Ecology and Nature Conservation Chapter of this ES (Chapter 14). A Preliminary Ecological Assessment (PEA) (provided at Appendix 14.1) comprised an ecological data search and an ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey undertaken on 17th December 2019. An external only Preliminary Roost Assessment of buildings, trees and walls, and the Salmons Brook culvert for roosting bats and a search for common invasive floral species was also undertaken in conjunction with the ‘Extended’ Phase 1 Habitat Survey. The Site was found to

Edmonton Green Town Centre, Enfield Chapter 3: Existing Land Uses and Activities ES Volume 1: Main Text Page 8 WIE16206 Chapter 3 Existing Land Uses and Activities 1.3.1 (final)

comprise predominantly buildings and hardstanding with some scattered trees, amenity grassland and ornamental planting. Salmons Brook also flows beneath the southern portion of the Site. Based on the findings of the PEA, several buildings, namely the residential towers present, together with the Salmons Brook culvert, are considered suitable to support roosting bats. The remining buildings and trees present on Site are considered to be of negligible bat roosting suitability. Bat surveys were undertaken upon Salmons Brook Culvert (refer to Appendix 14.2: Bat Survey Report) and it was assessed that roosting bats are likely absent from this feature. As the residential towers are outside of the red line boundary and no work is proposed to these buildings, bat surveys were agreed with LBE as part of the EIA Scoping not to be required. Given the high-rise nature of the residential towers and the third-party data records received, there is the potential for peregrine falcons to utilise the roofs of these tall buildings. However, as the existing residential towers are to be retained in their current condition, with refurbishment and reconfiguration proposed for the ground and first floors only, it is considered that adverse effects to peregrine falcon, if utilising the tower blocks, are unlikely to occur as a result of the Development. As a result, no further survey of the residential towers is considered to be required. The Arboricultural Survey Report and Impact Assessment identifies there are 47 existing trees and tree groups on-Site, of which 10 are categorised with a grading of B (moderate quality and value), 26 with a C grading (low quality and value) and 11 with a U grading (cannot be realistically retained as living trees). No A grade trees or tree groups (of high quality and value) were identified on Site. Further details are provided in Chapter 14: Ecology and Nature Conservation, the HRA AA report (Appendix 14.3) and Arboricultural Impact Assessment.

Wind Microclimate The prevailing winds at the Site are from the south-westerly sector, with the most frequent strong winds blowing from the west-south-west. North-easterly winds are common during spring but, although potentially cold, these winds are generally lighter than south-westerly winds. The Site and its surrounds are currently occupied by retail, leisure, community, hotel and residential uses and range between 1 and 26 storeys above ground. The tallest buildings are located on podiums but the mid-rise buildings in the south-west and west of the Site are exposed and channel prevailing south-westerly winds along Fore Street, The Broadway and into The Concourse. Resulting wind conditions are potentially uncomfortable at some sensitive locations such as entrances and shop fronts, at least during winter. However, there are no exceedances of the pedestrian safety criteria and wind conditions elsewhere, in and around the Site, are expected to be suitable for existing uses. Further details are provided in Chapter 17: Wind Microclimate.

Daylight, Sunlight, and Overshadowing The baseline daylight and sunlight results show that there are windows to residential properties surrounding the Site that are below the targets set within the BRE guidelines. These are primarily driven by the inherent design of these buildings where either the placement of recessed or overhanging balconies self-limit both the daylight and sunlight that can reach the window face and/or the windows have a restricted view of the sky as result of other parts of the building Where there are low levels of daylight and sunlight, a small absolute reduction in light may cause technical breaches. The baseline conditions for each residential property surrounding the Site are discussed in Chapter 15: Daylight, Sunlight, and Overshadowing with the location of the properties shown in Appendix 15.1.

Edmonton Green Town Centre, Enfield Chapter 3: Existing Land Uses and Activities ES Volume 1: Main Text Page 9 WIE16206 Chapter 3 Existing Land Uses and Activities 1.3.1 (final)

Surrounding the Site, there are the amenity areas (private and communal gardens, greens spaces and parks) to the north, east and west (identified in Appendix 15.4), which have been identified as sensitive receptors in terms of overshadowing. There are no instances of solar glare arising from the existing Site. Further details are provided in Chapter 15: Daylight, Sunlight, and Overshadowing.

Potentially Sensitive Receptors Table 3.2 provides a summary of the potentially Sensitive Receptors within and surrounding the Site. Note, this list is not exhaustive and the Sensitive Receptors relevant to each technical assessment are described in ES Chapters 7 to 16.
