Why it was refused

The proposed development by virtue of its siting, scale and design would resulting in unwarranted visual clutter, and harm the character, appearance and visual amenity of the surrounding streetscape. This is contrary to Policies D3 and D8 of the London Plan (2021), Policy BD1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041 and the NPPF (2024).
The proposed development by virtue of its siting and size would distract drivers, reduce the available width for the safety of pedestrians with impaired mobility and would prejudice the ability of the Local Highway Authority to efficiently manage the operation of the highway. This is contrary to policy D8 of the London Plan (2021), policies DMP1 and T1 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041, and the guidance in Transport For London's Streetscape Guidance 2022.
In the absence of foundation details showing the extent of the proposed foundation works in relation to a street tree, the development has failed to demonstrate that it would avoid harm to the health of the tree, which contributes positively to the visual amenity of the street. This is contrary to Policies DMP1 and BGI2 of the Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041.

From the council's decision notice.
