Delegated decision: Refused · Ryan Wong
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
By reason of the poor design of the proposed roof extension and two-storey rear
extension, resulting in an awkward roof form that poorly interacts with the main roof and
creating bulky and incongruous additions that fail to be subservient to the host dwelling,
the proposal would result in significantly detrimental impact to the overall character of
the host dwelling itself and an adverse visual amenity impact when viewed from nearby
vantage points. It is therefore considered that the proposal as a whole would be
contrary to Policies DMP1 and BD1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-41), Policies D3 and
D4 of the London Plan (2021), as well as the guidance within the Council’s
Supplementary Planning Documents SPD1 and SPD2 (2018) and the design
objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021).
