Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
whether sufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate the proposed development would not increase the risk of surface water flooding

What decided it

The proposed development's disproportionate scale, bulk and massing would harm the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan, and insufficient technical evidence was provided to demonstrate the surface water drainage strategy would not increase flood risk.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan (March 2021), Policy DMP1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041 (February 2022), Policy BD1 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041 (February 2022), Policy BSU14 of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041 (February 2022)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
