Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development due to its scale and position close to
neighbouring windows and amenity space would result in harm to living
conditions due to loss of light and outlook. The rearmost ground floor flat
would also receive inadequte natural light due to the loss of roof lights. The
development is considered to conflict with Local Plan (2018) policy DM10
and London Plan (2021) policy DM6.
2
The proposed first floor rear extension, by reason of its large scale and poor
quality design would harm the character and appearance of the site and
wider area. The development would therefore conflict with Polices SP4,
DM10 and DM18 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), policies D1 and D4 of
the London Plan (2021) and the Suburban Design Guide (2019)
In reaching this decision the Local Planning Authority has sought to work in a
positive and pro-active manner based on seeking solutions to problems in the
following way:
To assist applicants the Local Planning Authority has produced policies and written
guidance, all of which is available on the Council's website and offers a pre
planning application advice service. The scheme does not comply with guidance
and no pre application discussions were entered into. The Council is ready to enter
into discussions with the applicants to assist in the preparation of a new planning
application. The Local Planning Authority delivered the decision in a timely manner.
