143, Gladstone Park Gardens, London, NW2 6RN

1. 1.The proposed sub-division of this dwelling, by reason of the site location and subsequent poor accessibility and connectivity fails to accord with the spatial strategy of the development plan concerning housing mix and accessibility to sustainable transport. It would therefore conflict with Policies BH4 and BH11 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041).
2. 2.Flat 3/C located within the roof level, by reason of its layout, floor to ceiling height and lack of sufficient light and outlook would result in cramped living conditions with limited light and outlook. Furthermore, insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate the proportion of floor to ceiling level that would form applicable gross internal area and as such it has not been demonstrated that Flat 3/C would meet the minimum internal space standards. The proposed development therefore fails to accord with Policy DMP 1 of the Brent local Plan (2019-2041) and Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021).
3. 3.The proposed development by reason of forecourt layout of the three proposed off-street parking spaces results in an unacceptably wide vehicular crossover and lack of soft landscaping within the site frontage, contrary to Policy DMP 1 and Policy BT2 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041) and Brent Council’s Domestic Vehicle Footway Crossover Policy and to the detriment of pedestrian safety, natural drainage and visual appearance.

From the council's decision notice.
