Why it was refused

  1. The proposed upper-floor flat (Flat 2) would fail to provide an adequate gross internal area, resulting in cramped living conditions that would be harmful to the quality of accommodation for future residents. As such, it is contrary to Policies DMP1 and BH11 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041), Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), and the Technical Housing Standards: Nationally Described Space Standard (2015).
  2. The proposed development fails to demonstrate that safe and acceptable vehicular access to the site can be achieved without detriment to highway safety or harm to the public realm. In addition, the proposal fails to provide adequate front boundary treatment to prevent unlawful vehicular access across the grass verge, which has already resulted in damage to the highway verge and footway. Furthermore, the proposal fails to provide adequate cycle parking to meet the needs of the two proposed flats, contrary to adopted standards. As such, the development would prejudice pedestrian safety, fail to protect the highway and public realm, and is contrary to Policies DMP1 and BT2 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041) and Brent’s Domestic Footway Vehicle Crossover Policy (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
