Why it was refused

  1. The proposal fails to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and would result in harm to its character and appearance, as well as to the wider streetscene. The development is therefore contrary to Policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies DMP1, BD1 and BHC1 of Brent’s Local Plan (2019–2041).

From the council's decision notice.
