Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would meet the requirements of Policy BH11 (c) of the Brent Local Plan 2022-2041 which seeks to protect family sized dwellings where they are located in areas with poor levels of public transport accessibility

What decided it

Although the proposal conflicts with Policy BH11(c), the site's proximity to local services and transport, adequate parking and cycle provision, and compliance with other relevant policies mean no material harm would arise, justifying a departure from the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy BH11, Policy DMP1, Policy BH4, London Plan Policy T5
