Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed double-storey side and rear extension by virtue of its bulk,
height and close proximity to the boundary, would result in a significant and
unacceptable loss of outlook and an increased sense of closure to the rear
windows and garden of No. 97 Godric Crescent. This impact is further
exacerbated by the angled relationship between the two properties. The
proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and
Policy DM10.6 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's suggested improvements were not adopted by the applicant. The Local
Planning Authority delivered the decision in a timely manner.
