Description

Installation of a GRP plant housing adjoining the existing generator enclosure and HV sub-station The GRP housing will be site on a concrete plinth, with cables entering the housing to the rear above ground due to the presence of other services in the area. The existing switchgear panel is located within the generator housing. The space in which it is being installed is below current standards. In addition to replace the switchgear in its current location would require the power to be isolated for up to a week, which is unacceptable for the provision of healthcare services on the site.

Site constraints 4

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Article 4 direction
Article 4 Small Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Area 1. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Air quality management area: Barnet AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
