Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development fails to provide accommodation of an acceptable quality for future occupants where the proposal fails to provide sufficient internal communal space, the kitchen would fail to provide adequate facilities for cooking, and no details have been provided regarding the capacity of the washing and drying facilities, nor has their location been clearly identified on the submitted plans; Furthermore, there is a shortfall in external amenity space provision. This is contrary to policies DMP1 and BH7 of Brent’s Local Plan (2019-2041) and the guidance in Brent’s Houses in Multiple Occupations SPD (2022).
  2. Due to the limited details provided in the Management Plan, the submission has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would not have an unacceptable impact on the neighbouring amenity. This is contrary to policies DMP1 and BH7 of Brent’s Local Plan (2019-2041) and the guidance in Brent’s Houses in Multiple Occupations SPD (2022).
  3. The proposal would fail to create a healthy environment which people choose to cycle, due to the short-fall of long-stay and short-stay cycle parking spaces provision. This is contrary to policyT5 of the London Plan (2021), policy DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan (2019-2041), and the guidance set out in Brent's Houses in Multiple Occupation SPD (2022).
  4. The proposed development by virtue of its shortfall in recycling bins provision has failed to demonstrate that adequate facilities would be provided to store waste. This is contrary to policy DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan (2019-2041), the guidance in Brent's Houses in Multiple Occupation SPD (2022) and Brent's Waste and Recycling Storage and Collection Guidance for Residential Properties (2013).
