103 Paxford Road, Wembley, HA0 3RJ

1. 1.The proposed single-storey side to rear extension, by reason of its depth and overall scale, would result in an excessive and visually intrusive form of development that fails to respect the character of either the host dwelling or surrounding Conservation Area and this would cause undue harm to the amenities of neighbouring occupiers, including loss of outlook, increased enclosure and overbearing impact. Additionally the proposed use of materials would result in an unsympathetic addition, causing further harm. The proposal is contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan, Brent's Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD (2025), and the Sudbury Court Conservation Area Design Guide.
2. 2.The proposed enclosure of the recessed front porch, including the removal of original columns, would result in the loss of important architectural features that contribute positively to the character of the dwelling and the wider Sudbury Court Conservation Area. The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan and the Sudbury Court Conservation Area Design Guide.
3. 3.The proposed front garden treatment, including excessive hardstanding, lack of any soft landscaping, absence of appropriate boundary treatment(s) and failure to demonstrate permeable materials and sustainable drainage measures, would fail to preserve or enhance the special character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the streetscene, resulting in harm and would facilitate excessive on-site parking to the detriment of pedestrian safety and the streetscape as well as increasing potential for surface water run-off. The proposal is contrary to Policies DMP1 and BT2 of the Brent Local Plan and the Sudbury Court Conservation Area Design Guide.
4. 4.The proposed development, by reason of inappropriate external materials, including use of roof tiles which fail to match the original characteristic materials of the property, and the submission of inaccurate and therefore unreliable drawings, fails to demonstrate an acceptable form of development and as a result this would lead to harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Sudbury Court Conservation Area, contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan and the Sudbury Court Conservation Area Design Guide.
