Why it was refused

The proposed first floor side extension, due to its flat roof design towards the front of the dwelling, would fail to match the design of the main roof, resulting in a visually discordant and out of character addition that would harm the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, contrary to Brent Local Plan Policy DMP1 and the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2025).
The proposed development, two-storey side and first floor rear extensions, by reason of their scale, height and proximity to the ground floor rear bedroom at No.30 Queensbury Road, would result in harm to the amenities of the occupiers of No.30 Queensbury Road. In particular, the side extension raises concerns regarding loss of daylight and outlook to the rear bedroom window, while the first floor rear extension, by reason of its scale, height and proximity, would result in an overbearing and enclosing impact on the ground floor rear bedroom window. The proposal is therefore contrary to Brent Local Plan Policy DMP1 and the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2025).
The submitted drawings are inaccurate and inconsistent, particularly in relation to the roof designs of the ground floor side extension, first floor rear extension, and to the dimensions indicated across plans. As a result, the proposal fails to provide sufficient clarity to allow for a full and proper assessment of the development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Brent Local Plan Policy DMP1.

From the council's decision notice.
