78 Ealing Road, Wembley, HA0 4TH

1. 1.The proposed development by virtue of the inadequate floor to ceiling height to the loft floor flat (flat no.4), would unacceptably have an impact on the living conditions of future occupants. This is contrary to policies D6 of the London Plan and DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041.
2. 2.The proposed development, by virtue of the poor layout of flat 1, would fail to provide adequate means of natural light and outlook to the kitchen and bedroom, and would compromise the privacy of these spaces. This is contrary to policies D6 of the London Plan and DMP1 of Brent’s Local Plan 2019–2041.
3. 3.The proposed development, by virtue of failing to provide the family-sized flat (flat no.3) with direct access to its private amenity space, would not be suitable for family occupation to use their amenity space. This is contrary to policies DMP1 and BH13 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041.
4. 4.The proposed development, by virtue of the poor layout for the proposed private amenity spaces would require future occupants of the upper floor flats to walk an excessive distance to access their respective gardens. In addition, the poor access, particularly to the garden for Flat 4, would lack sufficent surveillance and lighting, limiting the practical usability of the space. This is contrary to policies DMP1 and BH13 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041.
5. 5.The proposed side access does not meet with the minimum width required for cycle access contrary to Policy T1 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy DMP1 of the Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041.
6. 6.In the absence of a UGF master plan and calculations, the proposed development has failed to demonstrate the minimum UGF score of 0.4 would be met. This is contrary to policy G5 of the London Plan 2021, policy DMP1 of Brent's Local plan 2019-2041 and the guidance in Brent's Sustainable Environment & Development SPD 20223.
