The proposed outbuilding due to its excessive size and siting, would unacceptably reduce the level of garden provision within this already constrained site and appear out of keeping and character with the host property, contrary to Policies DMP1 and DMP18 of Brent's Development Management Policies and Brent Planning Guidance SPD2.

The proposed outbuilding due to its design, siting, independent means of access and the incorporation of an ensuite bathroom would not be incidental to the enjoyment of the ground floor flat and would therefore be out of keeping and character with the pattern of development. The proposal would fail to comply with Policies DMP1 and DMP18 of Brent's Development Management Policies and Brent Planning Guidance SPD2. These policies seeks to resist outbuildings which would support increased occupation of a dwelling, including provision of primary outbuilding accommodation such as bathrooms, with the intention of preventing overcrowding and unsatisfactory accommodation, and preventing harm to neighbouring residential amenity.
