Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The development would detract from the character and appearance of the
dwelling and would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the street scene
by reason of scale, massing and design and would thereby conflict with
Policy SP4.1 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018, Supplementary
Planning Document Suburban Design Guide Chapter 4 on Residential
Extensions and Alterations and Policy D4 of the London Plan 2021.
2
The proposal fails to address fire safety or demonstrate that the highest
standards of fire safety would be achieved, contrary to Policy D12 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.
