Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in the loss of a single-family dwellinghouse and would not comply with Brent's requirements for HMOs, to be of acceptable quality, due to being within a poor location and failing to demonstrate sufficient internal amenity and insufficient information regarding dining/living layout. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMP1 and BH7 of Brent’s Local Plan (2019-2041) and the Houses in Multiple Occupation SPD (2022).

From the council's decision notice.
