A delegated decision has been made by Brent Council planners to refuse planning permission for a major expansion of the Gaudiya Mission, in Cranhurst Road, Willesden Green.
The application for changes to the Edwardian suburban house was opposed by 25 residents. The modifications included partial demolition of existing kitchen and temple room, a proposed basement extension with rear lightwell and railing, a single-storey side-to-rear extension, a rear dormer extension, alteration to side fenestration, a single-storey outbuilding in rear garden and installation of 2 front rooflights, and refuse storage to the front and cycle storage to the rear of the mixed use place of worship and dwelling house.
The reasons for refusal of planning permission were:
1. The accommodation proposed at loft floor level does not align with the space standards as outlined under policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and consequently would not provide an adequate standard of accommodation and internal amenity for future occupants. As a result, the proposal is therefore contrary to policy DMP1 of Brent's Local Plan (2019-41) and policy D6 of the London Plan (2021).
2. The proposal by not offering sufficient natural daylight to the basement of the premises is deemed to offer a poor level of internal amenity for future occupiers, contrary to policies DMP1 & BD1 of the Brent Local Plan (2019-2041) and the guidance contained within Basement Supplementary Planning Document (2017).
3. The proposal by reason of the insufficient provision of information regarding soft landscaping and planting fails to demonstrate how that the scheme will achieve a satisfactory urban greening factor on the site and provide sustainable urban drainage. The proposal would therefore be contrary to policy policies BD1, BGI1 & BGI2 of Brent's Local Plan (2019-2041) and policies G5 and G6 of the London Plan (2021).
The final decision notice sets out the regulations regarding appeals and purchase notices.

makes a change, we thought everything in Brent was allowed, perhaps they aren't friends with Irvin's friend
Give it a break - you don’t think there are legal frameworks that guide most of the decisions?
There are, but they don't count in Brent
What do you mean, give it a break? Have you not noticed that Brent's Constitution is regularly amended to allow the Butt regime to do what they want? Legal framework, what a joke. In Brent, if there is a hurdle that is getting in the way of what Butt wants, change the constitution.
