Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the function of the Preston Road Town Centre
- whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory arrangements for cycle provision and refuse storage
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and odour
What decided it
The proposal would cause harmful over-concentration of takeaway uses within Preston Road Town Centre in conflict with Policies BE4 and BE5 of the Brent Local Plan, and would fail to provide satisfactory cycle parking arrangements required by London Plan Policy T5.
Plan policies cited: Policy BE4, Policy BE5, Policy T5 of the London Plan 2021, Policy DMP1
