About this application

This is a planning application for window replacement at 496 Church Lane, London, NW9 8UA. Brent has handled 17,100 applications of this type. This one was decided in 434 days, 54 weeks longer than Brent's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There have been 7 other applications at this address. We hold 1,900 applications in total for the NW9 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The application has failed to demonstrate that the development does not harm the special character and appearance of No. 496 church Lane (a non-designated heritage asset). Furthermore, the replacement of the existing windows, by way of their appearance, would have an unacceptable impact on the special architectural character of the building. As such the proposal fails to comply with Policy DMP1 and BHC1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.

From the council's decision notice.
