Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 135 and 139 with particular regard to light, outlook, visual impact, and sense of enclosure

What decided it

The proposals would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the local area through retention of visual disharmonies in fascia details and the incongruous flat roof at the front corner, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high levels of amenity and complementary design.

Plan policies cited: Policy D4 of The London Plan, Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041, Brent Design Guide SPD1, SPD2
