London Borough of Brent Council refused this retrospective application 21st December after originally validating it on 21st May. There reasons were stated as; The outbuilding by virtue of its scale and positioning has a dominant and overly prominent appearance resulting in a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the host property and the open space of the rear garden. It thus does not accord with Core Strategy CP17 and Local Plan Policy DMP1. The outbuilding is located 5 metres from this property’s ground floor habitable windows. Given the site has a low boundary wall height of 1.6m the development has already contributed to a degree of overlooking and loss of privacy to the occupants at no 18 Ambleside Road.

Rother District Council refused this application on 1st March after originally validating it on 21st May the previous year. There reasons were stated as; 1 – The proposed annexe with ground floor sleeping accommodation situated within a flood zone 3 is classed as a ‘more vulnerable’ use by the Planning Practice Guidance.

This appeal is for a full planning application against the London Borough of Brent. The application was for an application to convert a detached double garage into ancillary residential accommodation and was refused by the London Borough of Brent for the following reasons; The outbuilding for residential accommodation is country to Brents development plan policy BMP18 of Brents Development Management Policies 2016 and could not be secured as ancillary accommodation due to the positioning of the outbuilding and the provision of a separate gated entrance making it capable of being independently accessed from the highway. The outbuilding is considered to provide an unacceptably poor standard of residential accommodation, due to the lack of satisfactory outlook, privacy and amenity space for residents, contry to policies DMP1 and DMP19 of Brent’s Development Management Policies 2016. The application does not make adequate provision for parking to serve the proposed residential unit and the…
