About this application

This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 13 Mulgrave Road, Harrow, HA1 3UG. Brent has handled 17,107 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. The site is in a conservation area. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 128 applications across Northwick Park. We hold 2,198 applications in total for the HA1 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The front and porch extensions, by reason of their excessive combined bulk would be overbearing and detract from the original principal elevation of the dwelling, failing to be subservient. This is contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent’s Local Plan 2019-2041, and Brent’s Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2025.
  2. The proposed combined roof level extensions, by reason of the excessive addition of bulk and creation of a mansard roof, would appear as incongruous and out of character additions which would significantly alter the roof level of the dwellinghouse equating to overdevelopment, contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent’s Local Plan 2019-2041, and Brent’s Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2025.
  3. The proposed ground floor rear extension by reason of its excessive height on the boundary, would have an unacceptable impact on neighbouring amenity by means of an increased sense of enclosure and overbearing appearance, contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent’s Local Plan 2019-2041, and Brent’s Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2025.

From the council's decision notice.
