Why it was refused

  1. The application is unacceptable in regard to its adverse impact to neighbouring amenities. Specifically, due to the close proximity of the proposed rear habitable rooms to the new loft-floor proposed flat to the existing rear habitable rooms within no.62 Oaklands Road, the proposal would result in a significant loss of privacy/overlooking to the detriment of the amenity of this neighbouring occupier. Therefore, the proposal fails to comply with policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan and Brent's SPD1 SPD.
  2. The application has not been accompanied with a fire statement or a Reasonable Exception Statement. The application has failed to demonstrate that the safety requirements of this policy could be met and therefore, the proposal fails to comply with policy D12a of the London Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
