Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in poor internal quality accommodation for future occupiers, due to the shortfall in gross internal area for the bedrooms, insufficient outlook from the kitchen (which is a habitable room), the failure to demonstrate that 75% of the minimum floor to ceiling height is 2.5m or more, and no detailed internal floor layouts to demonstrate that the flat would be of a functional layout, contrary to D6 of London Plan (2021), DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041) and the guidance set out within the Housing Design Standards LPG (June 2023).

From the council's decision notice.
