Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development would provide poor level of accommodation by reason of
poor layout, poor outlook, poor amenity space and the fear of crime for future
occupiers and would exacerbate safety concerns and would thereby conflict
with Policies SP2.6, SP2.7, SP2.8, SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local
Plan 2018, Policies 3.5 and 7.1 of the London Plan (consolidated with
alterations since 2011), the DCLG Technical Housing Standards - Nationally
Described Space Standard (March 2015), the Housing Supplementary
Planning Guidance to the London Plan (March 2016) and the Suburban
Design Guide - Supplementary Planning Document (April 2019).
2
The development would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of
the host and adjoining property by reason of visual intrusion and poor
outlook and would thereby conflict with Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local
Plan 2018 and 7.4 and 7.6 of the London Plan (consolidated with alterations
since 2011) and the Suburban Design Guide - Supplementary Planning
Document (April 2019)
