Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development by reason of excessive depth for single storey extension is
considered to be an overdevelopment of the site due to its size,scale and sitting in the rear
garden, resulting in the reduction in the size of the rear garden . The proposed development is
contrary to DMP 1 of the Brent Development Management Polices Plan (2016), emerging policies
BD1 of Brent's Draft Local Plan 2020, and the guidance set out in SPD 2- Brent Design Guide
(2018).
2
The proposal would result in a substandard accommodation for future occupiers by virtue of the
lack of outlook and unacceptable levels of natural light to the kitchen for Flat 1 and internal
bedroom size for Flat 2 . The proposal is therefore unacceptable and is contrary to the
requirements of Policies D6 and D7 of the London Plan (2021), DMP1 and DMP18 of Brent’s
Development Management Policies (2016), and the guidance set out in Brent’s SPD1 (2018).
3
The submission fails to demonstrate that the proposed development will achieve an appropriate
standard of fire safety and the proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D12A of the London Plan
(2021).
