Appendix 3: Sustainable Design and Construction Statements

All development proposals must be accompanied by a Sustainable Design and Construction Statement, the scale and scope of which will be determined on a site-by-site basis and as published in the local validation list upon adoption of this document and in further guidance as set out in the Council’s Local Development Scheme. It will outline how the proposal complies with relevant local, regional and national sustainable design and construction policies and should include as a minimum, information and evidence (where relevant) under the following headings:

A. Energy Statement

The sustainable design and construction statement will be required to include an Energy Statement for all developments to demonstrate how the development has minimised on-site CO2 emissions in accordance with the principles of the energy hierarchy to achieve the requirements of Core Policy 20.

Energy assessments should include the following details:

A calculation of baseline energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions (or Target Emission Rate) for regulated energy;
Outline measures taken to reduce the energy demand of the development through energy efficient design of the site, buildings and services;
Demonstrate the feasibility of further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions through the use of decentralised energy sources in accordance with DMD 52 'Decentralised Energy Networks';
Where necessary, demonstrate the feasibility of utilising Low or Zero Carbon Technologies after all possible savings have been secured through points 1-3 above

Separate sections under each of the points will need to take account of unregulated energy uses (as derived from appliances not covered by Building Regulations) and developers will be required to show how, as a result of development energy consumption and consequently carbon emissions have been reduced.

If it can be demonstrated that the achievement of relevant energy targets is not technically feasible or economically viable, the Energy Statement will be required to express the shortfall in tonnes of carbon/year and, in accordance with the formula adopted by the S106 SPD, a calculation of the cost to off-set the remaining carbon over the lifetime of the development (currently set at 30 years).

Where developers are seeking to off-set an identified shortfall through near-site enhancement options, including refurbishment of existing properties, the Energy Statement must contain clear calculations of the amount of carbon that is saved as a result of works. This figure must be equal to or greater than the shortfall and relevant legal agreements with relevant parties will form the basis of a S106 agreement to secure the works.

For further guidance please refer to the GLA's guidance on preparing energy assessments at http://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/planning/strategic-planning-applications/pre-planning-application-meeting-service/energy-assessments.

B. Water Efficiency

In accordance with DMD 58, the Sustainable Design and Construction Statement should include a section examining water efficiency within the development to meet relevant targets specified by the Policy. It should also provide details of the maximum level of water that can feasibly be provided to the development from rainwater and, where possible, grey water recycling, and include proposals for the integration of such systems into the development.

All new development proposals will be required to demonstrate that there is sufficient water supply infrastructure capacity both on and off site to serve the development or that any necessary upgrades will be delivered ahead of the occupation of development.

Relevant calculator tools utilised by the Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM can be used to qualify the statements and may form the basis of a condition attached to any planning consent.

C. Design

Linked to DMD 37 'Achieving High Quality and Design-Led Development', DMD 49 'Sustainable Design and Construction Statements', DMD 51 'Energy Efficiency Standards', DMD 53 'Low and Zero Carbon Technology', DMD 55 'Use of Roof Space/ Vertical Surfaces', DMD 56 'Heating and Cooling', DMD 59 'Avoiding and Reducing Flood Risk', DMD 61 'Managing Surface Water' and DMD 62 'Flood Control and Mitigation Measures'this section of the statement should demonstrate how sustainable design and construction best practice has influenced the form, bulk, mass and layout of the scheme to adapt to climate change and maximise efficiencies including:

passive solar design;
adequate daylighting;
flood resilient design;
reducing the need for heating and cooling;

Where appropriate and consistent with DMD 8 'General Standards for New Residential Development' a daylighting study may also need to feature within the sustainable design and construction statement.

D. Waste Management and Construction

Details of fully accessible waste and recycling storage will be required for all applications (excluding householder) in accordance with the London Borough of Enfield's: Waste a Recycling Planning Storage Guidance ENV 08/162 or replacement document. In addition developments will be required to demonstrate compliance with WAS1 of the Code for Sustainable Homes (in the case of residential development) and WST 03 of BREEAM or equivalent.

A Site Waste Management Plan will be required for all Major developments (and those defined under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005) to accord with the requirements of Policy 5.18 of the London Plan and demonstrate procedures for the minimisation of construction waste consistent with the principles of the waste hierarchy: reduce; reuse; recycle; recover.

As a minimum SWMPs should include:

A. Target benchmarks for resource efficiency set in accordance with best practice.

B. Procedures and commitments to minimise non-hazardous construction waste at design stage. Specify waste minimisation actions relating to at least 3 waste groups and support them by appropriate monitoring of waste.

C. Procedures for minimising hazardous waste.

D. Monitoring, measuring and reporting of hazardous and non-hazardous site waste production according to the defined waste groups (according to the waste streams generated by the scope of the works)

E. Diversion of waste from landfill should adhere strictly to the principles of the waste hierarchy of reduce; reuse; recycle; recover and evidence demonstrating each tier has been exhausted before a subsequent tier is employed according to the defined waste groups (in line with waste streams generated by the scope of the works). In additional a minimum of 85% of non-hazardous site construction waste by volume or weight must be diverted from landfill.

All other developments will be required to demonstrate through their statements how construction and demolition waste has been minimised so far as practicable and commensurate with the scale and scope of the scheme.

The statement should include details of how construction site impacts have been minimised to prevent undue disruption to the surrounding areas, prevention of air and water pollution, and that all reasonable measures have been introduced to reduce energy and water consumption in accordance with the requirements of MAN2 of the Code for Sustainable Homes (for residential development) and MAN 03 of BREEAM (for non-residential development) or equivalent.

E. Materials and Green Procurement

DMD 57 'Responsible Sourcing of Materials, Waste Minimisation and Green Procurement' requires major development to submit a Green Procurement and Construction Plan. This should demonstrate how the procurement of materials for the development will promote sustainability, including by use of low impact, locally and/or sustainably sourced, reused and recycled materials. The Plan should also include strategies to secure local procurement and employment opportunities. Wherever possible, this should include targets and a process for the implementation of this plan through the development process.

In addition, all other forms of development will be required to submit a statement and relevant evidence to demonstrate that all materials used have been responsibly sourced and their embodied energy minimised. Relevant calculator tools under the Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM may be submitted with the scheme as well as excerpts from the 'Green Guide to Specification' at http://www.bre.co.uk/greenguide/podpage.jsp?id=2126. Where applicable the reuse of existing structures will be encouraged.

Strategies to secure local procurement and employment opportunities are likely to feature as one of the Heads of Terms of a s106 agreement accompanying any consent.

F. Health and Wellbeing:

The statement should contain details outlining how the development has been designed for flexible use and adaptation to reflect changing lifestyles and needs of the end user including:

Adequate daylighting (DMD 8 'General Standards for New Residential Development');

Access to amenity space (DMD 9 'Amenity Space');

Access to recreation and play facilities (DMD 71 'Protection and Enhancement of Open Space', DMD 72 'Open Space Provision', DMD 74 'Playing Pitches' & DMD 73 'Children’s Play Space');

Provision of community services;

Consistent with DMD 37 'Achieving High Quality and Design-Led Development' demonstrating that the development is flexible enough to respond to social, technological and economic change;

Provision of home office facilities;

Evidence demonstrating compliance with the principles of Lifetime Homes a through each of the 16 criterion implementing best practice were feasible;

Adherence to DMD 15 'Specialist Housing Needs' demonstrating where necessary how the development has been design to accommodate specialist needs, including wheelchair accessibility;

Submission of a Health Impact Assessment consistent with Policy 3.2 of the London Plan where appropriate;

Provision for food growing space/allotments; and,

Where appropriate, assessment under BREEAM Communities.

The statement should make explicit reference to Policies in the Local Plan, Enfield's Sustainability Programme, the Sustainable Communities Strategy and the objectives contained within Enfield's Food Strategy.

G. Surface Water Run-off and Flood Risk:

In accordance with DMD 59 'Avoiding and Reducing Flood Risk', DMD 60 'Assessing Flood Risk', DMD 61 'Managing Surface Water', DMD 62 'Flood Control and Mitigation Measures' & DMD 63 'Protection and Improvement of Watercourses and Flood Defences' this section of the statement should evidence how surface water run-off has been attenuated from pre- to post construction, including details of Sustainable Drainage Systems proposed, any rain water harvesting installations,the sustainable drainage strategy, and where appropriate flood risk assessments.

As part of the Sustainable Drainage Strategy, developers will also be required to demonstrate that there is sufficient wastewater infrastructure both on and off site to serve the development.

Proposals in areas susceptible to flooding will be required to include flood resistant and/or resilient measures to mitigate potential flood risks in accordance with DMD 59 'Avoiding and Reducing Flood Risk', DMD 61 'Managing Surface Water', DMD 62 'Flood Control and Mitigation Measures' & DMD 63 'Protection and Improvement of Watercourses and Flood Defences'.

H. Ecology and Green Infrastructure:

In accordance with DMD 75 'Waterways', DMD 76 'Wildlife Corridors', DMD 77 'Green Chains', DMD 78 'Nature Conservation', DMD 79 'Ecological Enhancements', DMD 80 'Trees on Development Sites' & DMD 81 'Landscaping' the proposal will be required to outline how the development will contribute to the protection, enhancement or restoration of the ecological value of the site and, if appropriate the surrounding area, including the provision of living roofs and landscaping/design features as well as contributing to the formation and enhancement of waterways, wildlife corridors and green chains ⁸ ⁹ ¹⁰ ¹¹

I. Travel:

Evidence should be provided to demonstrate how the development has sought to minimise traffic generation and the need to travel by car/private motor vehicle in accordance with DMD 47 'Access, New Roads and Servicing'. In accordance with Policy 6.13 of the London Plan the location, number and type of electric charging points (both active and passive) must be evidenced and qualified by this accompanying statement. Where appropriate Transport Assessments and Travel Plans should accompany the statement.

J. Pre-assessments:

All new residential developments and all major non-residential developments must submit detailed pre-assessment under the Code for Sustainable Homes or the relevant BREEAM scheme undertaken by a BRE qualified and licensed assessor, these will form Appendices to the Sustainable Design and Construction Statement.

Other documents that may form part of the Sustainable Design and Construction Statement include, but are not limited to:

Ecological Report;
Tree Survey;
Site Waste Management Plan;
Health Impact Assessment;
Transport Assessment;
Flood Risk Assessment/Hydrology Report;
Environmental Impact Assessment;
Contaminated Land Study;
Light Assessment Report;
Noise Impact Assessment; and,
Demolition Statement

The requirement for these documents will be triggered by the Local Validation List.

Outline Applications

Outline planning applications need to fully address and commit to sustainable design and construction measure including energy efficiency. Depending on the matters to be considered, applicants should still undertake initial feasibility work on all the aspects set out above. The energy statement, in particular should address a site-wide energy strategy to form the framework of consideration for reserved matters applications. The structure should be the same as set out for full planning applications. Based on this information the Local Planning Authority will secure conditions to ensure that reserved matters applications contain an sustainable design and construction strategy that demonstrates consistency with the outline document submitted and energy strategy.

Existing Buildings

The Council recognises the importance of improving the energy performance of the existing building stock and proposals involving refurbishment, fit out, conversion, or the change of use of an existing building that do not qualify for an assessment listed nder DMD 51 'Energy Efficiency Standards'will be encouraged to achieve high standards of energy and water efficiency, and should seek to exceed relevant Building Regulations wherever possible with a baseline requirement for development to achieve an Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) or Energy Performance Asset Rating (EPAR) of 65 or an 8% improvement (whichever provides the greatest improvement over relevant Building Regulations).

Planning applications for changes to existing domestic and non-domestic units will need to be accompanied by a completed ‘sustainable design and construction statement’ to identify if there are any reasonable improvements that could be made to the performance of the existing unit. Where measures are identified these will be enforced via condition in any approvals.

For domestic applications improvements will include, but will not be restricted to:

Loft insulation (where lofts exist and 300mm of insulation is not currently present);
Cavity wall insulation (where cavities exist and are not filled);
Solid wall insulation;
Improved heating controls (including TRVs, programmable timers, room thermostats);
Provision of A-rated boilers as a minimum (with a maximum NOx emission of 70mg/kWh);
Triple, double or secondary glazing (with low e-coating);
Energy efficient lighting (both internally and externally);
Draft-proofing; and,
Low flush toilets, flow restrictors, delayed inlet valves, low flow taps and rain water harvesting where appropriate

Opportunities for micro-generation of renewable energy through retrofitting will be supported, where appropriate in accordance with DMD 53 'Low and Zero Carbon Technology'.

Additional energy targets will be required for major residential and non-residential applications involving refurbishment, fit out, conversion, or the change of use of an existing building based on the BREEAM minimum standards for energy efficiency in accordance with the targets set by DMD 50 'Environmental Assessment Methods'. Further energy efficiency standards will be considered and published following review of current Policy or as part of subsequent SPD.

Viability

Where a scheme seeks to demonstrate the exceptional circumstances for non-conformity with a Sustainable Design and Construction Policy through either technical feasibility or economic viability, this will need to be clearly evidenced through the Sustainable Design and Construction Statement accompanying the scheme. The assessment of economic viability shall feature under any of the relevant headings or form a stand-alone section within the statement and will provide more detailed and technical information that builds on the relevant viability toolkit submitted with the application and clearly outlines the exceptional costs associated with the requirement. Alternative or potentially mitigating scenarios will need to be fully explored and justified. The merits of the viability testing will be scrutinised and if necessary negotiated upon based on the Council's own evidence.

Appendix 4: Housing

Minimum Space Standards

The following minimum space standards will be applied in line with the London Plan (2011) and/or the London Housing Design Guide:

Minimum floor areas

Table 4.1

	Dwelling type (bedroom (b)/persons-bedspaces(p))	GIA (sq m)
Flats	1p	37
	1b2p	50
	2b3p	61
	2b4p	70
	3b4p	74
	3b5p	86

	4b5p	100
	4b6p	107
3 storey houses	3b5p	102
	4b5p	106
	4b6p	113

For dwellings designed for more than 6 people, at least 10 sq m gross internal area should be added to the minimum standard for 6 person accommodation for each additional person. For the purposes of this document, studio flats are defined as accommodation usually consisting of a continuous/non compartmentalised space (for sleeping and living in), a bathroom and sometimes a separate kitchen.

For residential units within the roof space, the space within the eaves can provide the opportunity for storage space. Where these are allocated and appropriate for storage, these areas may be counted and therefore deducted from the storage space requirements specified in the London Housing Design Guide.

Floor to ceiling heights: The minimum floor to ceiling height in habitable rooms should be 2.5m between finished floor level and finished ceiling level. A minimum floor to ceiling height of 2.6m in habitable rooms is considered desirable and taller ceiling heights are encouraged in ground floor dwellings.

Dwelling functionality

When assessing part e) of the above policy, the Council will particularly consider the following:

Dual aspect: Developments should avoid single aspect dwellings, particularly those which are are north facing, exposed to noise exposure categories C or D, or contain three or more bedrooms. If single aspect dwellings are proposed, the developer must demonstrate why dual aspect units cannot be included and how good levels of ventilation, daylight and privacy will be provided to each habitable room and the kitchen.
Flexibility in the design of living spaces: open plan living can provide efficient uses of space and this layout is desirable to certain households, however a choice of accommodation is required as a one size fits all approach will not meet all housing aspirations. Therefore, the overall proportions of units should reflect the need for choice and allow for the flexibility and future for adaptation i.e the ability to separate living spaces in an open plan layout or the provision of units which do not have a open plan layout.
Storage Space: The minimum space standards in the London Plan allow for a certain amount of built in storage space. In line with the London Housing Design Guide, to be useful the general internal storage space should be free of hot water cylinders and other obstructions, with a minimum internal height of 2m. Additional storage is encouraged particularly on the ground or basement level for flats to accommodate outdoor equipment, prams etc.
Drying space: there is dedicated space to accommodate the drying of clothes in line with the Code for Sustainable Homes
Study/Work: Dwelling plans should demonstrate that all homes are provided with adequate space to be able to work and study from home in line with the Code for Sustainable Homes requirements.

Daylight and sunlight

New residential buildings should be designed, in terms of their layout and orientation, to take advantage of daylight/sunlight to allow for passive heating and cooling and the use of micro generation technology. This may not be possible for extensions to existing properties or infill development which need to have regard to the existing building lines along the street. Appropriate levels of daylight/sunlight for new development will be assessed in accordance with minimum standards in the Code for Sustainable Homes technical guidance and the London Housing Design Guide. Daylighting/sunlighting studies should demonstrate that developments are designed to maximise the use of natural light.

Disturbance

When assessing the potential for disturbance, the Council will consider whether:

Rooms of compatible uses are stacked above or adjacent to each other;
Development limits noise from external sources by orientating sound sensitive rooms to face quieter external spaces;
Larger developments have been designed to create quieter external spaces between dwellings;
Building and dwelling layouts limit the transmission of airborne and impact sound from common areas, lifts and refuse chutes

Appendix 5: Commercial Opening Hours

The commercial uses covered by this appendix are for A3 (restaurants and cafes) A4 (drinking establishments), A5 (hot food takeaway), banqueting suites (DMD Policy 35) and social clubs (DMD Policy 36).

The permitted opening hours of premises as set out in this appendix should be considered along with national licensing regulations and Enfield Council Licensing Policies.

This appendix sets out the opening hours according to the hierarchy of town centres.

The potential disturbance caused by an A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club use, particularly in the evenings, arises in the main from:

Patrons arriving and departing - since many patrons make the journey to and from an A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club use by car, the availability and location of on and off-street parking will be a critical factor in assessing the possible disturbance the use will cause. This includes the noise and disturbance from people arriving and leaving, such as shouting, car horns, loud car stereos etc. Where on street parking in the vicinity is limited, patrons' parking will tend to spill over into nearby residential streets.
Noise generated by the premises - this may arise where the dining is accompanied by music or other entertainment. The kitchen activities may also cause noise nuisance to neighbouring residents, as will the cleaning and tidying up of the premises after closing time. These problems will be exacerbated in the summer when windows in the A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club premises and the dwellings may be open late into the night.

Opening and Closing Times

In order to address such matters, the Council can impose a restriction on the days and times when the A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club premises may be open for business. In this regard, the Council employs the following terms:

"opening time" - the time at which customers may be admitted to the premises.
"closing time" - the time at which all customers must vacate the premises.

It should be noted that the term "closing time" does not mean the time at which the doors are closed to any further customers, or the time at which last orders may be taken.

The Council recognises that operators of A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club establishments will normally wish to tidy up both the dining area and kitchens after the customers have left. In attaching an "hours of use" condition to a planning application, therefore, the Council may also specify the period immediately following the closing time during which the operator may carry out any cleaning, tidying, laying the tables for the following day and other such activity related to the use.

Noise and Disturbance

Most A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club uses are located in shopping centres which range in size from large town centres to small local parades and comer shops. In general, the smaller the shopping centre, the more likely it is that surrounding residential areas will be adversely affected by the noise and disturbance generated by an A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club use. On this basis the Council specifies in Tables 17.1 to 17.3 the opening and closing times for A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club uses located in particular types of shopping centre. The Enfield’s hierarchy of town centres is shown on table 6.3 of the Core Strategy.

It is the Council's intention to apply the opening and closing times specified in Tables17.1 to 17.3 as a starting point against which the detailed circumstances of the premises and their surroundings may be assessed. The Council recognises that the individual circumstances affecting the location of an A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club use will vary a great deal. In some circumstances it may be appropriate to make the opening or closing time more restrictive than that specified in Tables 17.1 to 17.3. There may also be circumstances where an earlier opening time or later closing time than that specified would be acceptable.

The factors which the Council takes into account in assessing these matters include:

The proximity of residential properties;
The character of nearby residential properties, for example whether they consist of upper floor flats over shops, houses in an area of mixed use immediately adjoining the shopping centre, or houses forming an integral part of a suburban housing estate;
The relationship of nearby residential properties to the A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club use, for example whether the dwellings are situated on the opposite side of the street, further along the street, or to the rear;
The traffic flows and other characteristics of the public highway fronting the A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club premises;
The availability of parking space in the neighbourhood, whether on or off-street.

Traffic-Related Issues

In the case of opening times, the choice of time will be particularly influenced by the level of traffic and by the availability of parking in the vicinity of the A3/A4/A5 banqueting suite or social club premises. Where the on-street parking generated by the premises is, in the Council's opinion, likely to give rise to hazardous conditions or cause congestion, the opening time will be set so as to avoid the premises being open during periods of peak traffic flow. This will be particularly relevant in the case of hot food takeaways or where a takeaway service is to be provided ancillary to the main use.

Opening Hours

The following table is for determining planning applications for the establishment or change of use of premises to use class A3/A4/A5; the days of the week and hours of the day during which those premises located within specific categories of shopping centre maybe open for business.

Notes:

In Table 17.1/17.2/17.3 the "opening time" is defined as the time at which customers may be admitted to the premises, whilst the "closing time" is the time at which all customers must vacate the premises. It should be noted that the term "closing time" does not mean the time at which the door is closed to any further customers, or the time at which last orders may be taken.
In the case of Large Local Centres, Small Local Centres and Local Parades, all activities related to the Class A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club use, for example cleaning, tidying and laying tables for the following day, must cease within one hour of the specified closing time.
For a list of the shopping centres which fall within the above categories, see Table 6.3 of the Core Strategy.
Table 17.1/17.2/17.3 is only intended to serve as a general guide to the days of the week and hours of the day during which Class A3/A4/A5, banqueting suite or social club premises situated within specified categories of shopping centre may be open for business. The permitted hours of use will be further refined in the light of the individual circumstances of the premises and their surroundings, as indicated in the accompanying guidelines.
Enfield's Cumulative Impact Policy (CIP) on licensing came into force in 2012 for the restriction of licensing hours for certain activities in Enfield Town, Southgate, and some parts of the Hertford Road corridor.

Appendix 6: Heritage Statements

Requirements of the Heritage Statement

The Heritage Statement may be included within the Design and Access Statement. It must cover the following topics:

1. An assessment of the significance of the asset derived through consultation of the appropriate Historic Environment Record, other records/listings (e.g. statutory and local lists, the Heritage Gateway, the National Monuments Record and local documents such as character appraisals) and on-site assessment of the asset and its setting.

Expert assessment may be necessary depending on the significance of both the asset and the proposed works. Advice should be sought from heritage officers and/or English Heritage regarding the extent of this work;

2. A desk-based assessment of the archaeological interest of a site, where the site is known to include, or is likely to include such interest (e.g. in areas of archaeological importance). Where desk-based research is insufficient to properly assess the interest, a field evaluation (e.g. geophysical survey, physical survey and/or trial trenching) may also be necessary.

3. A reasoned explanation of how the proposal addresses issues raised in character appraisals, management proposals/plans and other relevant evidence-base documents relating to the heritage asset. Development which exacerbates identified issues will be refused and the Council will use its powers to reverse damaging trends where possible. Applicants should visit the Council's website or contact the Heritage Team for the most up-to-date documents relating to the borough’s heritage assets. However, it is useful to note a number of issues that have been consistently highlighted in the evidence base as being of detriment to heritage assets. These include:

Parking on front gardens;
Loss of architectural detail;
Changes to fenestration in conservation areas;
Introduction of inappropriate advertisements. (Areas and buildings of historic interest are particularly vulnerable to the size, siting, design, colour scheme and illumination of advertisements. Internally illuminated and/or projecting box-type fascia signs are particularly damaging).

4. A reasoned explanation of how the proposal conserves and enhances the heritage asset.

5. Where the proposal will lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of the heritage asset, evidence that other potential owners or users of the site have been sought through appropriate marketing and that reasonable endeavours have been made to seek grant funding for the heritage asset’s conservation and to find charitable or public authorities willing to take on the heritage asset.

6. Detail regarding the sources that have been considered and the expertise used in assessing the impact of the proposal.

Applications which fail to adequately address the above will not be acceptable.

** Enlarged standard spaces 3.6m wide by 6m long that can be adapted to be parking spaces designated for use by disabled people to reflect changes in local population needs and allow for flexibility of provision in the future.

*** Further detailed guidance on parking provision for sports facilities can be found in the Sport England publication Accessible Sports Facilities 2010.

Appendix 8: Parking Standards

Car Parking Dimensions

The adopted bay size for car space is 4.8 x 2.4m. Where a car space is provided at a right angle to the road or aisle in a car park, the aisle should be a minimum of 6.0m wide. However a 3.0m wide bay would allow an aisle or forecourt to be reduced to 5.5m.

Where parking layouts provide a chevron parking design, the aisle width could be reduced, but the bay depth will need to be adjusted depending on the angle of the parking.

Parking bays parallel to the kerb should be 6.0m long x 2.4m wide (if there is no footway verge) otherwise 2.0m would be acceptable. This is in line with Manual for Streets 2.

Disabled parking bays would need to be larger. Exact dimensions will be dependent on location an orientation to the kerb. Further guidance is provided in the Department for Transport on inclusive mobility at: http://www.dft.gov.uk/publications/inclusive-mobility/

Garage Dimensions

The minimum garage size for cars is 7.0m x 3.0m (internal dimension). Garages of this dimension, or above will be considered a parking space.

Appendix 9: Road Classifications

Enfield categorises the local highway network in accordance a road classification system, agreed with the Department for Transport, by which the suitability of a proposed development will be assessed in relationship to the adjacent highway(s).

M: Motorway
TLRN Transport for London ERoad Network
Pr Principal Road

Appendix 10: Minimum Requirements for a Site Specific Flood Risk Assessment (FRA)

Minimum requirements for a site specific Flood Risk Assessment (FRA)

At all stages of the planning process, the minimum requirements for flood risk assessments are that they should:

be proportionate to the risk and appropriate to the scale, nature and location of the development;
consider the risk of flooding arising from the development in addition to the risk of flooding to the development;
take the impacts of climate change into account;
be undertaken by competent people, as early as possible in the particular planning process, to avoid misplaced effort and raising landowner expectations where land is unsuitable for development;
consider both the potential adverse and beneficial effects of flood risk management infrastructure including raised defences, flow channels, flood storage areas and other artificial features together with the consequences of their failure;
consider the vulnerability of those that could occupy and use the development, taking account of the Sequential and Exception Tests and the vulnerability classification, including arrangements for safe access;
be supported by appropriate data and information, including historical information on previous events.

Requirements for a site specific Flood Risk Assessment

The FRA must meet the minimum requirements in the SFRA and DMD and, for groundwater flood risk areas, any additional requirements set out in the paragraph below. The FRA must, having regard to the Environment Agency Flood Maps, Strategic Flood Risk Assessment, Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment/Local Flood Risk Management Strategy, Surface Water Management Plan and any other relevant evidence, specifically address the following:

Identify whether the proposed development is likely to be affected by current or future flooding from any source;
Identify whether the proposed development will increase flood risk elsewhere;
Demonstrate how flood risks identified will be managed (in terms of proposed mitigation measures) and how the development will be safe over its lifetime, taking into account climate change;
Identify opportunities as part of developments to reduce the probability and consequences of flooding (by creating flood storage, preserving flood pathways, reducing the existing footprint of buildings in flood risk areas, reducing surface water run off);
Where applicable, provide evidence so that the Council can assess whether the requirements of the sequential test are met and demonstrate that the exception test can be passed, unless these tests have already been met through the Local Plan process; and
Where applicable, demonstrate that a sequential approach (including location, layout and design) has been used to direct development away from areas of higher risk within individual sites, and to match the flood vulnerability of the intended use to the level of flood risk.

The Environment Agency should be consulted on site specific Flood Risk Assessments (FRA) in line with their standing advice.

Requirements for a Ground Water Flood Risk Assessment

For developments in groundwater flood risk areas that involve the creation of useable space below ground, such as basement dwellings or underground car parks a groundwater Flood Risk Assessment must be produced, this should include the following tasks as a minimum:

on-site conditions should be assessed during a site walkover (for example, the type and distribution of vegetation can indicate areas prone to water logging);
geological maps should be reviewed to assess the hydrogeological characteristics of the site, available from the British Geological Survey;
consultation should be undertaken with the British Geological Survey, the Environment Agency and Thames Water to obtain the following: water levels in boreholes, recorded flood levels, records of flows from springs, groundwater flood maps and photographs of ground water flood events;
local residents should also be consulted in order to develop a full understanding of any historical groundwater flooding events;

Depending on the scale of the development, if the above assessment indicates that groundwater flooding is likely, a more detailed appraisal may be necessary. This could include drilling trial boreholes to ascertain the depth of the water table and monitoring to determine its seasonal fluctuations. The possible impact of the development on groundwater levels and flows must also be assessed.

The level of information required will be dependent on the nature and scale of the development. The FRAs must refer to local evidence which identifies local flood risk including the SFRA and SWMP.

Column A - represents the distance in metres from the kerb at which NAQS objective is met for PM10 (particles) concentrations

Column B - represents the distance in metres from the kerb at which NAQS objective is met for NO2 concentrations

The exceedences at these locations arise from traffic emissions and from industrial process emissions. However, it is quite clear that any plan of action within the process of local air quality management must take account of the fact that emissions from road vehicles account for more than 75% of the total emissions from all sources in relation to the two pollutants of concern.

The review and assessment has highlighted the main ‘through’ roads, into and out of the borough as being the main contributors to the poor air quality in Enfield. These ‘through’ roads include the A10,Hertford Road, The Ridgeway, Cattlegate Road, Stagg Hill and Waggon Road. . All these roads intersect with the M25, with the exception of Waggon Road, which is used excessively as a ‘cut through’ from/to the neighbouring borough of Barnet.

Distances of exceedence can be seen to vary on the same road, this is because of the varying traffic flows along one stretch of road, certain sections of a road, such as the A406, will carry more traffic at some points than others. When this information is inputted into the dispersion model it produces the variable results seen in the above table.

Appendix 13: Requirements for Market Demand and Viability Assessments

Requirements for Market Demand and Viability Assessments

This appendix details requirements for applicants to produce evidence to demonstrate that employment and A1 retail premises are no longer in demand, viable or suitable for their continued permanent authorised use. Part two applies to A1 retail units. Parts 1-3 apply to the loss of all other employment uses. For the purpose of DMD policies 26, 27, 28 and 29 vacant units are defined as those units not currently occupied for A1 use and could include units occupied for 'meanwhile uses' or temporary uses, permitted through a temporary planning permission or under permitted development rights.

1. Qualitative Appraisal

The Appraisal should assess the physical and the policy context for the site, where appropriate having regard to the wider established industrial or employment area within which it is situated.

The appraisal must include an analysis identifying the advantages and limitations of the site or premises in question to accommodate employment uses. For each limitation that is identified, a justification should be provided as to why it could not be overcome having regard to the introduction of alternative employment uses, general investment or improvements, or through competitive rental levels.

Comparison with other employment sites or areas within the locality should discuss issues that are relevant to the site or premises.

If having undertaken a qualitative appraisal, to assess the suitability of the site, it can be demonstrated that the site cannot be made suitable for employment use it will not be necessary for the applicant to undertake a market demand and viability appraisal detailed in parts 2 and 3 of this Appendix.

2. Market Demand Appraisal

A detailed assessment of the current, and potential future, market demand for the site or premises in question should be provided within the market appraisal. The analysis should reflect on the current economic trends, forecasts and attempts to market the site or premises in question.

Marketing attempts should be specific to the site or premises in question and should demonstrate that the approach is flexible. Marketing attempts should include, but are not limited to, the following:

The sub-division or joining up of the site, building or premises;
Consideration of other uses for vacant offices such as: hot-desking, managed workspace, other employment generating activities;
Revised servicing arrangements;
Refurbishment opportunities for the current us
Both freehold and leasehold terms offered should be attractive to the market:

At least three years, with longer terms, up to five years or longer, if the occupier needs to undertake repair works or major refurbishment to be fit for purpose; and/or
Short term flexible leases for smaller units which are appropriate for SMEs

The appraisal should demonstrate that the site, building or premises has been widely advertised for sale and rent at the market price.

For SIL and LSIS, the Council will require the site, building or premises to be continuously marketed for at least 24 months.

For non designated sites and A1 retail units within town and local centres, the Council will require the site, building or premises to be marketed for a period of 12 months.

Marketing campaigns should be continuous from when the letting board is erected and the property is advertised online on reputable websites - not simply from when the agents were appointed.

In advance of advertising the site, building or premises the marketing approach should be agreed in advance with the Council.

The appraisal must include, but is not limited to, the following:

Outline the marketing approach adopted for the proposed scheme and the reasoning behind it;
Be able to demonstrate that all offers received have been given due consideration;
Provide details in respect of why individual offers have not been taken forward;
Include evidence that the site or the premises has been:
- Continuously advertised by a reputable local or national agency who can demonstrate a track record of letting industrial space; and
- There should be a visible letting board on the property; and
- Advertised with rents that are reasonable reflecting market conditions and the condition of the property; and
- Continuously advertised on the agent’s website within the agent’s up to date commercial stock availability list including online property databases such as Focus and EGI ; and
- Circulated to other local property agents.

The level of detail provided for local centres, local parades, individual shops and small clusters of shops (covered by DMD 28 and DMD 29) will be proportionate to location and scale and in such cases will be agreed with the Council.

3. Viability Appraisal

The viability appraisal must provide a clear explanation of the potential to redevelop/ reuse the site or premises in question for a range of employment uses, having regard to the site and its context.

The appraisal must consider a range of potential alternatives for the proposed site or premises in question, including all of the following:

The re-use, refurbishment, partial or complete redevelopment of the site or premises for the current and alternative employment uses;
The sub-division or joining up of plots/sites;
Revised servicing arrangements;
Details of the following matters and their impact on its viability:
- The value of the site or premises both in terms of leasehold and freehold at prevailing market rates;
- Development costs;
- Any abnormal costs; and
- Any available grants.

Costs and values must be set at prevailing market rates at the time of submission of the planning application. However, to take account of changing economic circumstances consideration should be given to any likely changes in market conditions within a 3-5 year time horizon, which could impact on development viability. During challenging economic periods in particular, sensitivity testing should be undertaken to consider the likely costs/values if market conditions were to return to more average conditions experienced over the economic cycle.

Comparison with other similar employment schemes in the local economic area should be considered to justify the site-specific issues that set the proposed site or premises in question apart from the general supply.

⁸ The Mayor of London published the All London Green Grid SPG in March 2012 with a remit to promote the concept of green infrastructure,and increase its delivery by boroughs, developers, and communities, by describing and advocating an approach to the design and management of green and open spaces to deliver hitherto unrealised benefits. These benefits include sustainable travel, flood management, healthy living, and creating distinctive destinations; and the economic and social uplift these support.

⁹ Of the 12 Green Grid Areas, Enfield features in Green Grid Area 1 - Lea Valley and Finchley Ridge (GGA1). This together with the emerging Upper Lea Valley Opportunity Area Framework and the Upper Lea Valley Landscape Strategy provides a clear strategy as to how this should be improved and enhanced along with other pressures for development in each area.

¹⁰ Green Infrastructure relates to a network of multifunctional open spaces necessary to support social, economic and environmental benefits close to where people live and work. Open spaces include green spaces such as parks, allotments, commons, recreation grounds and playing fields; children’s play areas, woodlands, waterways and natural habitats and civic spaces such as squares.

¹¹ adapted to the identified priorities of the Biodiversity Action Plan for Enfield. Validation requirements for applications may require the submission of an Ecological Report and/or Tree Survey, these documents would form the basis of this section as appropriate.
