Why it was refused

By reason of its siting, cumulative, bulk, scale, form and incongruous design, the third storey addition of the proposed development would be out-of-proportions and result in an unbalanced, dominant massing that is considered to be visually overbearing and oversized in the context of the subject site being a constrained backland site. The additional height and massing would have a detrimental impact on the locality and does not accord to the existing pattern of development. This is contrary to Policy of the London Plan 2021 and Policies DMP1 and BD1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041, the guidance within the Council's Supplementary Planning Document SPD1 Brent Design Guide (2018), as well as the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
