Currys, 416 Ealing Road, Wembley, HA0 1JQ

1. 1.The proposed mixed-use development fails to provide sufficient information to demonstrate how the various uses, including car sales, builders’ merchant, filming and other ancillary activities, would operate concurrently within the site. In the absence of a detailed site layout, parking and servicing strategy, and robust assessment of vehicle movements and operational interaction between uses, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development would not result in a detrimental impact on the safe and efficient operation of the highway network, nor compromise highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMP1, BT1, BT2 and BT3 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041).
2. 2.The proposal, in the absence of information to demonstrate otherwise, it cannot be ascertained if the development unduly compromises the residential amenity of the occupants of neighbouring properties, by reason of undue light, noise and/or odour pollution, or regarding how such impacts to the nearby residential units would be mitigated, and is therefore contrary to Policy DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan (2019-2041).
3. 3.In the absence of submissions addressing fire safety, the proposed development would not demonstrably address the need for fire risk mitigation. The proposal is therefore unacceptable and contrary to the requirements of policy D12 of the London Plan (2021).
4. 4.In the absence of an Air Quality Impact Assessment, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the development would not worsen existing air-quality conditions or increase pollutant exposure, contrary to Policy BSUI2 of Brent Local Plan (2019–2041) and is recommended for refusal on this basis.
5. 5.In the absence of sufficient drainage details or evidence of appropriate discharge consents, the proposed hand car wash use fails to demonstrate that wastewater would be appropriately managed or that runoff would not discharge onto the public highway. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DMP1 and BSUI4 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041) and London Plan Policy SI 13, which seek to prevent pollution and protect water quality.
