Why it was refused

Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of its substandard internal floor area, inadequate bedroom dimensions, poor internal layout including overly deep bedrooms resulting in little daylight penetration, and failure to meet the minimum space standards for a 2-bedroom, 4-person dwelling as set out in Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), would result in a poor quality of accommodation for future occupiers, contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041 and the London Plan.
2
The proposal fails to provide an adequately sized and conveniently located cycle and refuse storage resulting in poor quality service arrangement for the occupiers of the proposed flat contrary to DMP 1 of Brent's Local Plan 2019-2041 and policy T5 of London Plan 2021.
