196 Harrow Road, Wembley, HA9 6QH

1. 1.The proposed conversion of the dwellinghouse into a children’s day nursery would result in the loss of a purpose-built single family dwellinghouse, without adequate re-provision for a family sized unit being provided on site, contrary to DMP1 and BH10 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041), which seeks to ensure and protect existing accommodation that meets known needs within the Borough.
2. 2.In the absence of sufficient information, the proposal has failed to demonstrate that the nature and intensity of the use would not result in undue noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, including from internal activities, use of the garden, and associated vehicle movements, contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041).
3. 3.The proposal has failed to demonstrate that the travel demand associated with the proposed children’s nursery use can be adequately accommodated or managed at the site. In the absence of sufficient information regarding the number of children, staffing levels, and associated trip generation, and having regard to the constrained nature of the surrounding highway network, including limited on-street parking capacity and the presence of a bus lane on Harrow Road, the development would be likely to result in unsafe and obstructive parking, to the detriment of highway safety and existing parking conditions, contrary to Policies DMP1, BSI1(e) and BT2 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041) and S3, T2, T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021).
4. 4.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).

From the council's decision notice.
