Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether future occupiers of the basement apartment would be provided with adequate living conditions, in particular in relation to outlook, light levels, privacy and the quality of external amenity space
- whether the development would result in an unacceptable loss of office accommodation/community use
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide adequate living conditions for the basement apartment occupiers due to poor outlook and unacceptable privacy loss, and results in the unacceptable loss of both protected office accommodation and community use facilities, with no viable fallback to mitigate this dual loss.
The benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits and renewable energy were limited in scale and insufficient to outweigh the identified harm to living conditions and the loss of protected office accommodation and community use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- London Plan (2021) policy D6Brent Local Plan (2022) policy BE3Brent Local Plan (2022) policy BSI1
