Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development would result in an overdevelopment of the site,
by virtue of its height, mass, scale and design, resulting in a detrimental
impact that fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the
East India Estate Conservation Area. This is contrary to the Croydon Local
Plan (2018), in particular policies DM 10 and DM18, and the East India
Estate Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, and Policies D3,
D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021).
2
The proposed development would be detrimental to the amenities of the
occupiers of surrounding properties, resulting in an overly dominant,
overbearing and oppressive impact on the rear habitable rooms and gardens
of these properties, by reason of the height and massing of the proposed
development and would thereby conflict with Policies SP4.1 and DM10 of the
Croydon Local Plan and Policy D3 and D4 of the London Plan 20121.
3
Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the refuse
storage arrangements, in particular the proposed location of the refuse store
adjacent to 38 Havelock Road and located on the access road, and the
proposed location for bulky waste, would be incompatible with the movement
of vehicles and would prevent safe access and egress to the site for vehicles
and pedestrians contrary to policies DM10, DM13, and DM29 of the Croydon
Local Plan (2018).
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. In this instance the pre application advice was
not adhered to. 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 delivered the decision in a timely
manner.
