Why it was refused

  1. The proposed widening of vehicular crossover, by virtue of the excess of off-street parking and excessive width is considered detrimental to the free and safe movement of pedestrians, and would be detrimental to the appearance and natural drainage of the site due to the lack of soft landscaping, contrary to policies DMP1, BT2 and BT4 of Brent's Local Plan (2021), and the guidance laid out within Brent’s Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) (2025) and the Brent Domestic Vehicle Crossover Policy (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
