The design and appearance of the first floor extension would be
unsympathetic to the character of the area and appearance of the existing
house contrary to policies SP4.1 and DM10 of The Croydon Local Plan
2018, the Suburban Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2019
and policy D3 of the London Plan (2021).

2
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

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.
