Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision Site visit made on 21 January 2025 by N Bowden BA(Hons) Dip TP MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 28th February 2025 Appeal Ref: APP/W1905/W/24/3348279 Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt EN8 0AN • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by Mr Rhys Bartle (B3 Living) against the decision of Broxbourne Borough Council. • The application Ref is 07/23/0102/FUL. • The development proposed is the demolition of garages 1-75 and erection of 17 residential units consisting of 15no. two bed flats and 2no. three bed flats with associated parking, amenity space and refuse storage. Decision 1. The appeal is allowed and planning permission is granted for the demolition of garages 1-75 and erection of 17 residential units consisting of 15no. two bed flats and 2no. three bed flats with associated parking, amenity space and refuse storage at Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt EN8 0AN in accordance with the terms of the application, Ref 07/23/0102/FUL, and the plans submitted with it, subject to the conditions in the attached schedule. Preliminary Matters 2.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision In allowing the appeal I have used the description of development provided on the appeal form and Council’s decision notice. This is to reflect that the development was amended during the course of the application from a total of 18 dwellings to 17 along with other revisions including the design and layout. 3. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) was revised on 12 December 2024. As the changes to the Framework do not affect the main issues in the case, the parties have not been invited to make further comments in this regard. Main Issues 4. The main issues are: 1) the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, and 2) whether the proposed development provides adequate on-site vehicle parking and effects of overspill vehicle parking on the highway network. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/W1905/W/24/3348279 Reasons Character and appearance 5. The appeal site is set within an established built-up area formed of a variety of types of predominantly 20th century residential development. There is a wide mix of building types and vernaculars ranging from early 20th century terraces to inter and post war suburban housing development in the form of houses and flats in addition to modern infill. The site is set just beyond a small shopping and commercial centre which is focused along High Street. Building heights vary but these are mainly two or three storey in height albeit with varying roof treatments that range from traditional tiled pitched roofs to shallow pitches and flat roofs. The site itself is formed of six banks of garage blocks addressing three small service lanes. 6. The proposed development of 17 flats would replace these garages with a three storey block in an L shape addressing Lawrance Gardens as it follows the curve in the road. The block would be arranged in a slightly staggered format to the road- facing elevations with projecting entrance ways and slightly recessed and partly enclosed balcony areas to the individual flats. 7.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision The building would be relatively large by comparison to many other buildings in the locality however it’s overall mass would be similar to the flat blocks at Cadmore Court and Pardix House addressing Cadmore Lane, or to the circa 1960s commercial and retail buildings addressing High Street. The building would be substantially larger than other buildings along Lawrance Gardens which are two storey with shallow pitched roofs and the terraced and semi-detached homes addressing Audwick Close and Cadmore Lane. 8. However, the building would sit in a transition area between the larger buildings clustered towards the High Street and the lower density arrangements of homes further to the north and east. To my mind, this would read as a logical evolution of the built form from the denser and more urbanised context along the High Street to the more suburban setting a little further away. 9. Although the building is large, its mass and scale is broken up through its design which provides interest. The change in scale would probably be most appreciable from the rear aspect of homes addressing Audwick Close. However, this rear aspect of the proposed building also features articulation and a variety of materials to break up its size.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision 10. Overall, I conclude that the proposed building would have an acceptable design and appearance. Whilst recognising its overall bulk and mass and that this would make a distinct change to this part of Lawrance Gardens, I find that the building is well articulated through design details and use of materials. As such, I conclude that it would not be harmful to the character and appearance of the area. The proposed development therefore complies with policy DSC1 of the Broxbourne Local Plan 2020 (BLP) in that it achieves a high standard of design, taking into account existing patterns of development. Vehicle parking 11. The Council’s adopted parking standards are set out in policy TM5 and related schedule of parking standards at Appendix B of the BLP. Based upon the mix of https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 2

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/W1905/W/24/3348279 15 two bedroom dwellings and 2 three bedroom dwellings, the Council considers that this requires the provision of a total of 35 spaces to cater for the development. The proposed development only provides a total of 18 spaces which equates to one per dwelling and one spare. 12. The proposal would, technically, result in the loss of a substantial number of parking spaces within the existing garages in addition to the on-street parking provision to the front of the site. Given the size and nature of the garages it is reasonable to assume, as per the appellants suggestion, that very few of them would have been, or indeed could have been, used for vehicle parking. 13. The appellant has stated that the Council is moving towards adopting a Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) style system as is utilised across London Boroughs. This is detailed in the supporting text to policy TM5 of the BLP however I have not been provided with any further evidence on this. If I were to accept the appellant’s ‘manual’ PTAL assessment this would suggest a low/medium level of public transport accessibility. This would equate to the provision of 0.75 spaces per dwelling.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision Census data from 2011 suggests that vehicle ownership in the locality is also 0.75 per flat. 14. A parking survey was also conducted by the appellant and this suggests mid-to- high levels of parking stress on surrounding roads although there was a significant variation between individual roads. I am also mindful of the substantial number of comments by local residents and members who will have a day-to-day knowledge of parking availability on the ground. 15. Whilst I am not wholly persuaded by the use of a ‘manual’ PTAL rating for this area, this assessment does highlight that the site is near to local facilities and services. Moreover, it further identifies the proximity to local public transport provision in the form of frequent buses along High Street and relative closeness to Cheshunt train station. Although the census information on parking demand per flat is somewhat dated, it represents a reasonable benchmark. The parking survey does suggest that spaces are available overnight but these may not be in a convenient walking distance to all residents.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision Moreover, having regard to local residents comments and that the site is set to the edge of a small commercial area, I find that parking demand is likely to vary over the course of the day such that the overnight assessment in the parking survey may not offer a complete picture. 16. However, weighing all the above matters together, the evidence does suggest that one vehicle space per dwelling for the proposed development would be sufficient to ensure it does not increase on-street parking demand overall. Whilst I do accept that it is unlikely to ameliorate existing conditions, it is unlikely to worsen the situation. It is for this reason I conclude that the proposal complies with policy TM5 of the BLP in that sufficient parking is made available for the development. Other Matters 17. The development is put forward as 100% affordable housing. For this reason, the Council has indicated it would waive infrastructure contributions required through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). No planning obligation to secure the proposed dwellings as affordable housing was submitted with the application or appeal and this would normally be a requirement in order to pass the test of enforceability.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/W1905/W/24/3348279 into prior to granting planning permission is the best way to deliver sufficient certainty for all parties about what is being agreed. 18. However, the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) notes that in exceptional circumstances a negatively worded condition requiring a planning obligation or other agreement to be entered into before certain development can commence may be appropriate, where there is clear evidence that the delivery of the development would otherwise be at serious risk. In this case, I have noted that both parties are satisfied that a condition can be imposed to secure the scheme as affordable housing. Moreover, the applicant/appellant/landowner is also an affordable housing provider, and this gives me certainty that the development can be delivered in this intended manner. The Council suggests that the development may be at risk due to the costs and delays associated with producing a planning obligation. In addition, the scheme is presented as 100% affordable accommodation and there is therefore no ambiguity as to the make-up of affordable units or their delivery. 19.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision I conclude that a condition can be imposed to secure the affordable housing and this is explored further in my discussion on conditions as per below. 20. In reaching my conclusions here I have had regard to the comments of neighbours on varying issues. Concerns were expressed regarding the lack of maintenance regarding the existing garage blocks, however as the site has no doubt been planned for redevelopment for some time this is not unexpected as it would make little sense to maintain structures which are to be demolished. Refuse storage is proposed within the scheme and I have imposed a condition to ensure this will be implemented. This should mitigate rubbish and litter concerns from the development 21. Overlooking concerns have been expressed. However, the distance of windows to the new flats would be a sufficient distance from neighbours such that these would not cause an unreasonable loss of privacy. Balconies, where people may dwell, are confined to the public facing elevations and do not offer direct vantage towards neighbours. The building is sufficiently distant from neighbours such that there would not be any loss of light to neighbouring homes. 22.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision There may be some noise and disturbance generated by introducing additional residents to the area but I have no reason to conclude that this would be any different to any other residential property in a built-up area. Whilst the rear boundaries to some neighbouring gardens would have a change to what they adjoin, this replaces the existing garage blocks and therefore, compared to what these garages could be used for, this change would be minimal. 23. I accept that there would be some disturbance during the construction of the development but this will be a temporary situation. I have imposed a condition relating to hours of construction to ensure that is not undertaken at anti-social times. Conclusion 24. For the reasons given above I conclude that the proposed development complies with the provisions of the development plan and the material considerations do not indicate that a decision should be made other than in accordance with it.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/W1905/W/24/3348279 appeal is, therefore, allowed and planning permission is granted subject to the conditions set out below. Conditions 25. The Council have provided a schedule of conditions and I have imposed these in general substance with alterations and corrections. Conditions 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 16 and 18 to 21 are pre-commencement conditions. The appellant has been consulted on these conditions having regard to the provisions of S100ZA of Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) (the Act). 26. Condition 1 is a time limit condition and is imposed here to accord with the provisions of the Act. 27. Condition 2 is imposed to ensure the development is delivered as 100% affordable housing. The parties have agreed to this condition, and I am satisfied that in this instance it is reasonable, necessary and enforceable and is in accordance with the tests set out in the PPG. It is further required due to the waiving of contributions payable under the CIL Regulations as this is only done here due to the overall benefit offered through the provision of affordable homes for which there is a demonstrable need. 28.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision The third condition is imposed to secure adherence to the approved plans in the interests of certainty. 29. Condition 4 is imposed to ensure the development is constructed in an acceptable palette of materials to ensure it integrates with the character and appearance of the area. The same reasoning applies to condition 5 in addition to ensuring an acceptable standard of living conditions for existing neighbours and future residents. 30. Condition 6 is imposed to ensure waste and recycling are managed appropriately. 31. Conditions 7 and 8 are imposed to ensure the development is satisfactorily landscaped and integrates with its surroundings in the interests of the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of residents. 32. Conditions 9 to 12 (inclusive) pertain to the manner of dealing with water and drainage. They are imposed here to ensure that the development is satisfactorily drained and does not result in flooding. 33. Conditions 13 and 14 relate to parking and access. These are imposed here to ensure the development provides adequate off street parking facilities and the access thereto is not harmful to highway safety. 34. A Travel Plan is required under condition 15.

Garages 1-75 Lawrance Gardens, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, EN8 0AN — Broxbourne Borough Council — Appeal Decision This is to promote sustainable transport options for future residents and encourage the use of public transport options which are available for those residents. 35. I have imposed conditions 16 and 17 here due to the size of the site, its proximity to residential areas, the local parking conditions and in the interests of highway safety. 36. Condition 18 relates to the provision of charging points for electric vehicles. This ensures that the future occupants will have access to this facility. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate 5

Condition 19 requires integrated bird and bat boxes. This will ensure an urban habitat is provided for native species in the interest of biodiversity. Condition 20 is imposed to ensure that the lighting is appropriate for these species and is also imposed in the interests of safety and security for future residents and in the interests of the character of the area. 38. Condition 21 relates to obscure glazing on the flank elevations of the building and is required to mitigate overlooking towards immediate neighbours. For the avoidance of doubt, this relates to the south facing windows to flats 6 and 12 and the east facing windows to flats 11 and 17, as shown on plans 0552/PL/3/1101 and 0552/PL/3/1102. 39. Finally, a condition is imposed to deal with contamination in the event this is found, and this is in the interests of public health and the environment.
