Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The front/side extension, by virtue of its design, scale, massing and siting,
would not respect or positively respond to the character of the host dwelling,
and would be detrimental to the character of the surrounding area. As such,
it would be contrary to policies SP4 and DM10 of The Croydon Local Plan
(2018), the Suburban Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document
(2019) and policy D3 of the London Plan (2021).
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 via the Council's Pre Application process. The Local Planning
Authority's suggested improvements were not adopted by the applicant. The Local
Planning Authority delivered the decision in a timely manner.
