Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposal by way of its siting, design, appearance, scale, height, form,
layout, poor quality landscaping and siting and size of refuse stores would
represent an unsympathetic, incongruous, cramped and dominant
overdevelopment to the detriment of the architectural integrity of the existing
buildings, the street scene and character of the surrounding area. As such, it
is contrary to policy DM10 and DM13 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018),
policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and the Supplementary
Planning Document: Suburban Design Guide (2019).
2
The proposal by reason of its siting, design and scale would result in undue
enclosure and loss of outlook and privacy to the occupiers of the existing
flats on the site as well as an increase in noise and nuisance, to the
detriment of their residential amenity. As such, it is contrary to policy DM10
of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), policies D3, D4 and D14 of the London
Plan (2021) and the Supplementary Planning Document: Suburban Design
Guide (2019).
3
The proposal due to its provision of no communal amenity space or child
play space, poor outlook/lighting and poor and inaccessible cycle storage
would provide insufficient quality living conditions for future occupiers to the
detriment of their residential amenity. As such, it is contrary to policies
SP2.8, DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), policies D3, D6 and T5 of
the London Plan (2021) and the Supplementary Planning Document:
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 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.
