Delegated decision: Refused · Jasmin Tailor
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development would result in poor quality accommodation for future occupiers of the
new dwelling, due to insufficient outlook to the kitchen/dining/living room area and the lack of
private external amenity space, contrary to Policies DMP1 & BH13 of the Brent Local Plan
(2019-2041), D6 of London Plan (2021) and Supplementary Planning Document 1 – Brent Design
Guide (2025).
2
The proposed development, by reason of the provision of excess off-street parking, unsatisfactory
and unsafe access arrangement requiring vehicle manoeuvring over the footway and highway
verge, and the failure to provide 50% soft-landscaping within the front garden, would result in a
poor quality and harmful frontage treatment, which is detrimental to the character of the area and
highway safety. Furthermore, the proposal fails to demonstrate adequate provision of cycle and
refuse storage for the existing dwelling, contrary to Policies DMP1 and BT2 of the Brent Local
Plan (2019–2041), and Policies T6 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021).
3
In the absence of robust and verifiable information, the proposal has failed to clearly demonstrate
that the scheme would achieve the required UGF score of 0.4 or deliver meaningful urban greening
benefits. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy BH4 of the Brent Local Plan and Policy G5
of the London Plan (2021) and is considered unacceptable in this regard.
4
In the absence of sufficient information addressing fire safety considerations, the proposed
development fails to demonstrate that it would achieve an appropriate standard of fire safety and
risk mitigation. The proposal is therefore considered unacceptable and contrary to the
requirements of Policy D12 of the London Plan (2021).
5
The submitted plans and elevations are inaccurate and fail to properly represent the proposed
development. As such, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the application has
been fully and transparently described, thereby undermining proper assessment and public
consultation. In the interests of proper planning, any future application should include accurate
and consistent drawings that clearly and correctly depict the proposed development in full. The
current submission is therefore contrary to Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019–2041).
