Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would fail to provide an adequate floor area for Units 43A, 45A, 46A and 48A and an undersized third bedrooms to Units 43A and 48A, resulting in a poor quality of amenity for future occupiers. This would be contrary to policy D6 of London Plan 2021, policy DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041, and the guidance set out within Housing Design Standards LPG.
  2. The proposal has failed to demonstrate that the new units would achieve a compliance with the overall floor to ceiling height required under policy D6 resulting in a poor quality of amenity for future occupiers. This would be contrary to policy D6 of London Plan 2021 and policy DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041, and the guidance set out within Housing Design Standards LPG.
  3. The proposal, by virtue of a lack of sufficient information, has not demonstrated that it would have an acceptable impact on trees or that it would not detrimentally impact on biodiversity. This is contrary to policies DMP1, BGI1 and BGI2 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.
  4. The proposed development is not subject to a legal agreement under Section 106 of the Planning Act which would be required to ensure the delivery of the maximum reasonable amount of Affordable housing through an off site contribution. As such, the impacts of the development would not be mitigated and the proposal would be contrary to London Plan Policy and policy BH5 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041, together with the guidance set out within Brent's S106 Planning Obligations SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
