Why it was refused
- The proposed external staircase with associated raised platform by virtue of its design, size and positioning, would appear out of keeping and be too prominent to the detriment of the design and character of the property and its context. The proposal would fail to comply with policy DMP1 and BD1 of Brent’s Local Plan (2019-41).
- The proposed external staircase that incorporates a raised platform, by virtue of its design, lack of screening and siting would result in an unacceptable increase in overlooking of the neighbouring occupiers. This addition would also have an overbearing impact, result in a loss of light and increased sense of enclosure to the occupants of the neighbouring property. This would be harm the overall living conditions of the adjoining occupiers and be contrary to policy DMP1 and BD1 of Brent’s Local Plan (2019-41) and Supplementary Planning Document No. 1 (2018).
From the council's decision notice.
