About this application

This is a planning application for a new dwelling at 7 Gladstone Park Gardens, London, NW2 6LA. Brent has handled 17,107 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. The site is in a conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 2,758 applications in total for the NW2 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposal results in the loss of a family-sized unit in a priority location and does not re-provide this unit as part of the development. The principal of development is therefore not accepted. The proposal fails to comply with policy BH11 of the Brent Local Plan.
  2. The proposed quality of accommodation is unacceptable. More specifically, given the insufficient gross internal area (GIA) and built-in storage spaces for Flat 2 and given the limited kitchen/living space arrnagements, the proposal provides a substandard quality of accommodation for future occupiers, failing to adequately address the requirements of policy D6 of the London Plan.
  3. The application has not been accompanied with a fire statement or a Reasonable Exception Statement. Therefore, it has not been demonstrated that proposal has been designed to be fire safe and the application fails to comply with policy D12a of the London Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
