Why it was refused

  1. The proposal fails to include any marketing evidence to demonstrate that the existing commercial unit at ground-floor would not be unviable as a result of the proposed loss of commercial floorspace. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policy BE6 of the Brent Local Plan.
  2. The proposal fails to provide an adequate number of family sized units, contrary to Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041 policy BH6.
  3. The proposal would be unacceptable in design terms. The flat-roofed extension results in confusing architecture, with an irregular shape and an awkward junction with No. 2 Curzon Crescent that is especially evident from side views, appearing intrusive and at odds with the established character of the terrace. The scheme therefore fails to respect the established pattern of development in the wider terrace and harmful to the visual amenity of the site and wider locality. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policies BD1 and DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.
  4. The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the neighbouring amenities of Flat's A and B, St Gerrans, Curzon Crescent. More specifically, given its excessive bulk and massing and close proximity to habitable rooms within these neighbouring properties, the proposal would result in a significant increased sense of enclosure and overbearing impact to these neighbouring amenities. The proposal therefore has failed to meet the requirements of policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.
