Why it was refused

  1. On the basis of the inaccurate plans submitted, the Local Planning Authority cannot make a full and accurate assessment on this application. This is contrary to policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.
  2. The application has failed to demonstrate how the intensified servicing, and deliveries demand would be safely coordinated and how refuse would be adequately managed. This is contrary to policies DMP1 and BT3 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.
  3. On the basis of the information provided, the proposed development has failed to demonstrate that noise levels from the proposed equipment would not have an unacceptable impact on the amenities of the nearby residential occupiers. This is contrary to policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.
  4. In the absence of a Fire Statement and on the basis of the fire strategy provided the proposed development has failed to demonstrate that it would provide a safe and effective means of evacuation in the event of a fire. This is contrary to policy D12A of the London Plan 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
