Why it was refused
- By reason of insufficient floor area and floor to ceiling height as well as a lack of access to suitable on or off site external amenity provision, the loft level flat is of unacceptable internal and external quality of accommodation, resulting in cramped and inadequate living conditions for the proposed occupancy levels sought, contrary to London Plan 2021 Policy D6, Brent Local Plan 2019-2041 Policy BH13 and the Council’s Residential Amenity Space and Place Quality SPD (Dec 2024).
From the council's decision notice.
