Why it was refused

  1. The proposed flats would be located in an area with poor public transport accessibility, resulting in higher levels of car dependency, generating increased car ownership and usage to the detriment of traffic congestion, air quality and climate change contrary to Policy DMP1 & BH11 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041).
  2. The scheme would provide inadequate soft landscaping and an overprovision of parking, contrary to Policy T6 of London Plan 2021 and policies DMP1 and BT2 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041.
  3. The proposal, by virtue of a lack of sufficient information, has not demonstrated that it would meet the required gain in biodiversity or provide an adequate urban greening factor. This is contrary to policies DMP1, BGI1 and BGI2 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041.

From the council's decision notice.
