Why it was refused

  1. The proposal does not include any marketing evidence and therefore fails to demonstrate that the existing office spaces are no longer viable, and is therefore contrary to the requirements of policy BE3 of the Brent Local Plan.
  2. The proposal fails to demonstrate that the existing community use is not required in its current form and that there is no demand for any other suitable community use on the site, failing to demonstrate that its loss would not result in a shortfall in provision of that use; additionally there is no adequate proposal for the reprovision of the use. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policy BSUI1 of the Brent local plan.
  3. The proposed quality of accommodation for the basement unit is unacceptable. Specifically, given its limited outlook and daylight, poor quality of external amenity space and overlooking/privacy concerns from the rear communal garden area, the proposed basement flat would provide a substandard level of accommodation to the detriment of future occupiers of this space. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policy D6 of the London Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
