C PLANNING APPLICATION REF: 18/00633/RE4 Site: Broomfield Park, Broomfield Lane, London, N13 4HE Proposal: Creation of a wetlands area (1500sqm) involving increase in height of bund by 0.8m, restoration of water feature together with associated landscaping to the south east corner of the park.

Site location

Background

The site covers the area to the north of Broomfield Park, a 21 hectare public park in the ownership of Enfield Council. There are no Listed buildings within the site boundary, but the site falls within the setting of Broomfield house (Grade II* Listed Building) to the east of the site and three additional listed buildings, including the garden walls and adjoining structures associated with Broomfield House / Park (all Grade II listed). The western wall is located adjacent to the eastern site boundary. The park is included on Historic England’s Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest.

Proposal The proposal is to create a new wetland habitat to reduce flood risk for properties in the local area and downstream, by increasing the storage of flood waters. The proposed scheme also aims to improve drainage from some water-logged areas of the park and the improve water quality through replenishment, in addition to restoring the provision of a water feature which has been shown to exist in this area. The proposed wetland is to occupy an area of 0.35Ha in the south-east corner of the park in an area which is known as the West Field. The West Field comprises an open sweeping parkland interspersed by trees as well as a historic Lime Tree Avenue. The proposed site is located to the south of Lime Tree Avenue and is bordered by the walled garden to the east and Powys Lane to the south. Spoil from the excavated cells will be used to subtly re-landscape in the works area and used to fill in banks bordering the sports pitches on the east side of the park. The project will not pose additional flood risk to the surrounding area. No trees will be removed or be materially affected by the works. The majority of the open parkland surrounding the wetland will remain unchanged by these proposals.

Previous CAG Minutes

17/03634/FUL - Fox Public House, 413 Green Lanes, London N13 4 JD CAG noted that The Fox is a locally listed building and an asset of community value. A number of the members wished to make their comments known on the proposal, namely, LECSG; - reiterated its concerns set out in their advice to Enfield (and included in this agenda). - emphasised that the community space in The Fox is too small - the flats in Fox Lane are too far forward to back edge of pavement. - more greenery is need between pavement ad flat frontage. TES - welcomed the refurbishment of The Fox

- the flats in Fox Lane need to be set back; they are too dominant. - too many flats and too high. SDCT - massing and dominance of the flats in Fox Lane overwhelm the public house. Green Lanes development out of character with the shopping parade. SGSG - Fox Lane side needs garden space in front of the flats. - arid masonry elevational treatment of Fox Lane. - The Fox has a strong roof line; the flats do not. - the development ignores the rising ground of Fox Lane. - Fox Lane still has the air of a quiet country lane; this proposal changes that perspective. WHG&VML - The Fox is the dominant building and should remain so; this development impairs and overwhelms its setting. FH&BCSG - The Fox needs the space around it to be maintained. - recess between the public house and the flats, in Fox Lane, is insufficient separation. - the flats in Fox Lane do not respond to the scale of the houses. - scale of the flats is wrong; too dominant. - there is a hard brick transition descending Fox Lane where the houses end and the development starts. - elevational treatment of Fox Lane flats is brutal and out of keeping with the transition to domestic scale of the houses. - Green Lane frontage out of keeping with the high street; other than eaves and ridge levels, nothing relates.

FH &BCSG (further analysis) Peter Fisk gave an analysis drawn from the applicant’s design and access statement; - the prosed street frontage includes the retention of The Fox’s façade and flank walls in Fox Lane and Green Lanes. The greater the exposure of these flank walls the more apparent the definition of the original public house within the streetscape. - The Fox Lane elevation includes a one metre recessed vertical link between the public house and the new residential accommodation. The recess is not deep enough to expose enough of the flank wall bearing in mind the first floor roof, to the glazed link, appears to have an awkward junction with the large concaved eaves of The Fox. - The Green Lanes elevation shows the flank parapet to The Fox being demolished above the eaves line and the roof of the new two storey infill being united with the existing roof of the public house. This arrangement blurs the definition of the existing building. An architectural solution is needed that retains the flank wall (up to parapet level) as well as the concave eaves corner feature.

The new flats in Fox Lane should be contextual and form a link between the two storey residential buildings in Fox Lane and the predominately three storey buildings of Green Lanes. The proposed elevations are not acceptable; and they are a storey too high presenting a cliff like transformation from the residential scale of Fox Lane and omit any contextual references to the Green Lanes streetscape. Cllr L. Chamberlain - The massing of the whole development is too much and out of keeping with its surroundings. As such it is unacceptable. CAG’s Chair - The Fox is overwhelmed and imprisoned by the development. The public house needs elbow room around it to underscore its dominance. It is the primary building of the area and should clearly be seen as such from all approaches. - Green Lanes frontage has an uncoordinated design (to the high street) and simply crashes into the public house. - Fox Lane flats fail to recognise and reflect the topography of Fox Lane, its neighbouring domestic scale and the need to stand back from the pavement edge. - the brutality of the elevational treatment of the Fox Lane flats is simply unacceptable. - massing and height of the proposal is simply too much. CAG were unanimous in their advice to reject the application. Objection

Previous CAG Minutes

17/02595/FUL: Trent Park, Cockfosters Road, Barnet EN4 0PS

CAG had been looking for a response to the points raised at their last review in August 2016. In essence this related to photomontages; to enable an assessment on the park setting noting the paucity of trees. Additional planting being sought as a consequence. Despite this application being a weighty tome CAG’s requests have not found a response. TPCC raised the issue of the proximity of the Blind Path. LECSG noted that Parks and Gardens (Historic England) should be consulted as a statutory authority. Given the issues still surrounding this application CAG agreed to set up a working party to deal with the issues arising; Tony Hillman and John West volunteered Given the failure of the applicant to respond CAG do not feel it appropriate to reaffirm their earlier approval to the scheme.
