Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to light and outlook
- whether the proposed development would achieve an appropriate level of fire safety
- whether the proposed development would contribute appropriately to meeting local housing need
- whether the appeal site would provide an appropriate location for a House in Multiple Occupation having regard to proximity to public transport and local facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would not provide appropriate communal facilities with adequate light and outlook, and would fail to achieve appropriate fire safety standards, which when combined with the loss of a family dwelling for which there is identified need, meant the proposal failed to comply with Policy BH7 of the Brent Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy BH7, Policy DMP1, Policy D12
