Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development, by reason of its massing, poor quality elevation
composition and appearance would result in an unsightly form of
development which would fail to integrate successfully in townscape terms or
make a positive contribution to the setting of the local character and
immediate surroundings resulting in a visually intrusive form of development
contrary to Policies SP2 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018, Policies
D4 and D8 of the London Plan 2021 and Councils Supplementary Planning
Document Suburban Design Guide (SDG) 2019
2
The development would result in poor standard of accommodation by reason
of number of single aspect flats, thereby conflicting with Policy DM10 of the
Croydon Local Plan 2018, Policies D4, D6, D7 of the London Plan 2021 and
the Councils Supplementary Planning Document Suburban Design Guide
(SDG) 2019
3
The proposal would result in an intrusive and imposing form of development
detrimental to outlook of the neighbour at 61 South End with the potential to
cause a loss of daylight to this adjoining occupier contrary to policy DM10 .6
of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 and the Councils Supplementary Planning
Document Suburban Design Guide (SDG) 2019.
4
The proposal would result in inappropriate refuse storage facilities by reason
of lack of storage for bulky items and therefore would be contrary to Policy
DM13 of The Croydon Local Plan 2018.
5
The proposed development would not provide suitably designed residential
cycle storage accessible to all, would fail to provide commercial cycle
storage facilities and does not include sustainable highway improvements or
measures to reduce car dependency contrary to Policies SP8, DM29 and
DM30 of The Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policies T4, T5, T6.3 and T9 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.
