7 Gladstone Park Gardens, London, NW2 6LA
Proposed conversion of dwellinghouse into 2 self-contained flats
The proposal results in the loss of a family-sized unit in a priority location and does not re-provide this unit as part of the development. The principal of development is therefore not accepted. The proposal fails to comply with policy BH11 of the Brent Local Plan.
The proposed quality of accommodation is unacceptable. More specifically, given the insufficient gross internal area (GIA) and built-in storage spaces for Flat 2 and given the limited kitchen/living space arrnagements, the proposal provides a substandard quality of accommodation for future occupiers, failing to adequately address the requirements of policy D6 of the London Plan.
The application has not been accompanied with a fire statement or a Reasonable Exception Statement. Therefore, it has not been demonstrated that proposal has been designed to be fire safe and the application fails to comply with policy D12a of the London Plan.
