Bowes Road

The site extends to approximately 0.62acres (0.25ha) and comprises vegetated land, with access on the western boundary off Palmerston Crescent.

The northern boundary abuts numerous back gardens that front onto Elmdale Road. The western boundary has frontage onto Palmerston Crescent, a residential street that is the primary point of access onto the site. To the east is Broadway Mews, a narrow road running north to south which comprises a number of smaller light industrial units including a mechanical repair shop. The southern boundary fronts onto the North Circular motorway.

The site is located off Palmerston Crescent, Palmers Green and is within the London Borough of Enfield. The site runs adjacent to the North Circular ring road which borders the south of the site.

The surrounding area comprises predominantly residential uses, with Broomfield School, The Palmers Green Library, Bowes Primary School and Broomfield Park all located within a mile radius of the site.

The site is located 0.6 miles to the south of Palmers Green Train Station which connects much of north London and Hertfordshire with central London via Moorgate station. Bounds Green station is located 0.8 miles to the south west of the site and is served by the Piccadilly line which runs south through central London and onto South West London and Heathrow.

The site has potential for residential development given the residential character of the local area and adopted and draft local policy support for small sites development in the area. Development of the site would need to ensure that loss of biodiversity from the site can be mitigated i.e. through replanting of trees.
