Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development results in the loss of a family home contrary to the development plan
  • whether or not the loss of the commercial floorspace at basement level is acceptable having regard to the development plan
  • whether the development provide adequate living conditions for occupiers with particular regard to light, outlook and enclosure for the basement studio and internal living space for units B, B1, C and C1

What decided it

The development fails to provide adequate living conditions for occupiers of the basement studio due to poor light, outlook and enclosure, and for units B, B1, C and C1 due to undersized internal living space without adequate shared facilities, conflicting with Policy D6 of the London Plan and Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan.
