Why it was refused

  1. The submitted drawings lack sufficient detail as they do not clearly indicate the location of the proposed pergola or its floor level. As a result, the application cannot be fully assessed in terms of its impact on the host property and neighbouring properties. The proposal therefore fails to demonstrate compliance with Policy DMP1 of the Local Plan.
  2. The proposed outbuilding, by reason of its design, scale, and siting, would result in an unacceptable level of overshadowing and overbearing impact on neighbouring occupiers. This harm would adversely affect the overall living conditions of neighbouring residents and their ability to enjoy their private amenity sapce. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041) and the guidance set out in Brent’s Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document.

From the council's decision notice.
