175A & 175B High Road, London, NW10 2SD
Proposed reconfiguration of existing first and second floor 2 x self-contained flats into 3 x self-contained flats, erection of two-storey side-to-rear extension at first floor level, rear dormer to main roof, linked dormer to rear outrigger with 2 x side facing windows, addition of 1 x front rooflight and cycle storage at ground floor level
The proposed development would result in poor quality accommodation for future occupiers of the first and second floor flats, due to siting of windows for the central bedrooms, would fail to have sufficient outlook and privacy contrary to D6 of London Plan (2021) and Policy DMP1 (General Planning Policy), of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041
The proposed development, by reason of the size, siting and design of the proposed two storey extensions and depth of the dormer to rear outrigger would constitute a development that fails to appear suitably subservient to the main property and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the host property and the locality / rear garden views. This is contrary to London Plan (2021) Policy D4 (Delivering good design), Policy DMP1 (General Planning Policy), of the Brent Local Plan 2019-2041, SPD1 Brent Design Guide (2018) and the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2025.
The proposed two storey side to rear extensions, by reason of its height, depth, window positions, and proximity to the neighbouring boundary would compromise the residential amenity of the upper floor occupants of the neighbouring property at Nos 173 and 173 High Road, by reason of reduced outlook and privacy, overbearing character and increased sense of enclosure contrary to DMP1 of Brent’s Local Plan (2019-2041) and the Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD 2025.
