Palmerston Crescent in Palmers Green gets the go-ahead
After meeting on Tuesday 23rd April 2024, Enfield Council’s planning committee has granted planning permission for a new 31-home residential development on vacant brownfield land in Palmers Green within the London Borough of Enfield.
The six-storey development, designed by Chassay Studio, will be a mixture of three-bed, two-bed and one-bed homes; almost half of which a designated as affordable. The residential units will be split between two buildings, East and West. The site is owned by Transport for London and forms part of the Greater London Authority’s small sites small builders programme, an initiative to enable public sector organisations in London to use smaller development sites for residential development.
Overall, the development has placed an emphasis on providing high levels of accessibility. The only parking proposed for the scheme is three wheelchair-accessible spaces, with a vehicular access planned via the North Circular Road onto Palmerston Crescent.
Create were appointed to the role of Air Quality Consultant and have been part of a multidisciplinary team led by Renew Planning. Together we have been providing a variety of technical services and specialist advice to support the compilation of a robust planning application on behalf of the client, Crossier Properties Limited.
Our team carried our Dispersion Modelling to understand the impact of the North Circular across the development during its operational phase. This enabled the team to understand the impact on future residents using the site in relation to the UK Air Quality Objectives. Additionally, a Dust Management Plan was prepared to analyse dust impacts on the neighbouring area, during the construction phases. These two aspects were detailed into an Air Quality Assessment that was submitted as part of the full planning application.
