Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not future residents would experience acceptable living conditions with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable outlook from the proposed basement bedrooms, particularly the rearmost habitable room which would be dominated by the retaining bank and boundary treatment, conflicts with Policy DMP1's requirement for high quality environments and acceptable living conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policy DMP1 of the Local Plan, Brent Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 1 (November 2018)
