Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed change of use to a learning centre would provide an appropriate social infrastructure facility in accordance with Policy BSI1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041). In particular, insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate an evidenced local need for the facility, that the premises would operate as a flexible and adaptable community facility, or that wider community use would be maximised. Furthermore, the submitted documentation contains inconsistent information regarding the proposed hours of operation and provides limited detail regarding the nature, frequency and management of wider community activities. As such, the proposal fails to demonstrate compliance with the criteria of Policy BSI1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041).
  2. The proposal, by reason of the lack of sufficient supporting information, fails to demonstrate that the operation of the proposed learning centre would avoid unacceptable impacts on the surrounding highway network. In particular, adequate details of trip generation, travel patterns, and the likely demand for on-street parking associated with pupil drop-off and pick-up have not been provided. The submitted Transport Statement does not robustly assess the potential parking and traffic impacts arising from the proposed use, particularly during weekend periods when parking controls do not operate. In the absence of appropriate mitigation measures, the proposal would likely result in increased unsafe or illegal parking and drop-off/pick-up activity on Dudden Hill Lane, a major distributor road, to the detriment of the free flow of traffic and highway and pedestrian safety.
