55 Clarendon Gardens, Wembley, HA9 7QN

1. 1.Due to the lack of information provided, the proposal has failed to demonstrate that the site is suitable in terms of proximity to nearby amenities and services. Furthermore, no details have been provided in relation to bedrooms, bathroom and internal communal amenity space facilities and layouts. Therefore, considering the lack of information submitted, the proposed development has failed to demonstrate that it would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for future occupiers, and the proposal is contrary to policies DMP1 and BH7 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041), Brent’s Houses in Multiple Occupation Supplementary Planning Document (2022) and Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021).
2. 2.No evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that there is a specific need for the proposed HMO arrangement, thus resulting in a loss of a family sized dwelling (3+ beds) for which there is a significant need and the existing family dwelling would be replaced by an HMO with poor quality accommodation for future occupiers, contrary to Policies DMP1 and BH7 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041).
3. 3.The proposal would result in an overprovision of parking through the exceedance of adopted maximum parking standards and would therefore encourage unnecessary vehicle usage and adding to traffic congestion. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy T6.1 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies DMP1, BT2 of Brent's Local Plan (2019-2041), Brent's Vehicle Crossover Policy and the Houses in Multiple Occupation SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
