Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in a substandard form of accommodation, by reason of inadequate sunlight/daylight, outlook and ventilation provided to Flat A; and due to the absence of section drawings to confirm the floor to ceiling heights for Flat B. The proposal is contrary to policy D6 of London Plan 2021 and policy DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041.
  2. The proposal would result in inadequate cycle parking provision, contrary to Policy T5 of the London Plan and Brent Local Plan policy DMP1.
  3. Due to its layout and the proposed location of the car parking space, the proposed forecourt arrangement would be unsuitable as it would not allow for safe access to the new flats, to the detriment of pedestrian safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Brent Crossover Policy Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
