Why it was refused

  1. The proposed crossover by reason of its excessive dimensions, inappropriate positioning and lack of soft landscaping would be to the detriment of pedestrian and highway safety, and natural drainage and landscaping. The proposal will result in conflict with the pedestrian crossing build-out, contrary to section 5 of the Domestic Vehicle Footway Crossover Policy.
  2. The proposed off-street parking spaces would exceed the parking standards set out in Policy BT2 of the adopted Brent Local Plan. The proposal would be to the detriment of Brent Council’s attempts to restrain car use and ownership and minimise impacts on congestion and climate change.

From the council's decision notice.
