Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of at least two on-street parking spaces on a busy strategic road and would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety, coupled with an unduly hard appearance to the street scene due to insufficient soft landscaping.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMP1, Policy BT2, Policy BT4, Brent Domestic Vehicle Crossover Policy 2018, Brent Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document 2025 Section 3.10
