Industrial and logistics units at Claverings Industrial Estate, Edmonton, London N9

“The proposal is for the redevelopment of Claverings Industrial Estate to provide a total of 11,653 sqm GIA flexible industrial/logistics floorspace falling within Use Classes E(g)(ii)/(iii), B2, and/or B8.”

“The proposed flexible industrial/logistics floorspace would be provided within two new buildings, which would be subdivided into seven units. Units 1, 2, and 3 would be in the northern part of the site and units 4, 5, 6, and 7 would be in the southern part of the site. The proposed floorspace within each unit is set out below:”

“The site comprises a network of two-storey buildings of brick and flat roofs constructed in the 1950s when manufacturing could be viably undertaken in smaller units, including on upper floors, accessed by conventional stair cores.”

“The surrounding area includes a mix of uses. Horizon Business Centre to the north, Dominion Business Park to the east, and the Cart Overthrown former public house and the Enfield Public Safety Centre to the west are all non- residential. However, the surrounding area (to the west of the Greater Anglia Railway Line) is predominately residential.”

“The applicant has recently applied to the Council for a determination as to whether the prior approval of the authority will be required as to the method of demolition and any proposed restoration of the site (reference 24/04044/PADE). The Council’s decision was that prior approval was not required.”

“The only relevant recent planning history for nearby sites relates to the Cart Overthrown former public house, which has an extant planning permission for residential redevelopment (reference 19/00043/FUL). The permission was granted with conditions at appeal and expires on 13 July 2025. None of the pre- commencement conditions required by the permission have been discharged.”

“The Claverings Estate is a draft allocation in the draft Enfield Local Plan. The allocation calls for the redevelopment of the site to provide 3,219 sqm of floorspace above that which exists on the site presently.”

“In relation to the draft site allocation’s requirements for infrastructure needed to support redevelopment and design principles, it is noted that the proposal would deliver on some of these points.”

“In response to Members’ questions relating to height and massing, officers replied that the existing relationship was not unlike what was proposed and the applicant had located lower height at the frontage with residential properties across Montagu Road.”

“In response to Members’ questions and comments regarding local business, officers responded that the Section 106 agreement would secure a requirement for sourcing local employment, apprenticeships and supplies.”

“The proposal having been put to the vote; Members voted:”

“That subject to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement to secure the obligations as set out in the report, the Head of Planning and Building Control be authorised to GRANT planning permission subject to conditions. That the Head of Planning and Building Control be granted delegated authority to finalise the wording of the Section 106 Agreement and the conditions to cover the matters in the Recommendation section of this report.”
