Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed development would fail to provide any three bedroom homes
in line with the council's strategic 30% target. The proposal would therefore
conflict with Policy H10 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy SP2.7 of the
2
The proposed development would provide a poor standard of
accommodation for future occupiers. Flats C and D would fall below the
nationally described space standards, Flat E would fail to meet the minimum
floor to ceiling height, and the communal amenity space would result in
unacceptable impacts on the privacy of Flats A and B and appears to be
inaccessible to the upper floor flats. The proposal conflicts with Policy D6 of
the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP2.8 and DM10 of the Croydon Local
Plan (2018).
3
The submitted plans do not demonstrate that vehicles can enter and leave
the site in forward gear resulting in a failure to demonstrate that harm would
not be caused to the existing highways network. The proposal would conflict
with Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM30 of the Croydon
Local Plan (2018).
4
The proposed cycle storage does not meet the requirements of the London
Plan or the London Cycling Design Standards in terms of capacity, layout or
provision for wider and adapted cycles. The proposal would conflict with
Policy T5 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies DM29 and DM30 of the
5
The proposed refuse storage provision does not accord with the Council's
waste management requirements. No bin enclosure or bulky goods storage
area has been provided. The proposal would conflict with Policy DM13 of the
6
In the absence of a legal agreement to restrict future occupiers' eligibility for
parking permits and secure a financial contribution towards sustainable
transport improvements, the proposal would conflict with Policies SP8.12,
SP8.13, DM29 and DM30 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. 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
delivered the decision in a timely manner.
