Alterations to internal layout of the main building to provide 2 self-contained residential units at basement and ground floor level with 6 units of HMO accommodation at levels 1 and 2, retention of the existing self-contained unit in the rear garden and minor works of alteration to the external appearance of the building
The proposal by reason of insufficient evidence and information regarding identified need, use, operation and management of the development fails to demonstrate that it is an identified need in Brent, it is appropriate in the proposed location and would be managed appropriately. The development is therefore inconsistent with CP 21 of the Brent Core Strategy (2010) , DMP 1 and Criterion C and D of DMP 20 of the Brent Development Management Policies Plan (2016).
The proposed development with reference to ‘Units 1-6’ by reason of limited communal facilities including no external amenity provision would result in overcrowding and poor living accommodation for future users. The development is therefore inconsistent with DMP 1, DMP18 and DMP19 as well as Criterion B of DMP 20 of the Brent Development Management Policies Plan (2016).
The proposed three bedroom property located to the rear at lower and ground floor levels would, by reason on poor light, outlook as well as overlooking from use of the communal side alley would result in substandard living accommodation for future occupants. The development is therefore inconsistent with DMP 1, of the Brent Development Management Policies Plan (2016).
