Delegated decision: Refused · Alexander Green
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The single storey rear extension would be detrimental to the amenities of the
occupiers of the neighbouring property No. 81 Blenheim Park Road by
reason of its size and siting, resulting in a loss of light and outlook, and an
increased sense of enclosure. Furthermore, the height and siting of the
proposed raised patio would cause a loss of privacy to the occupiers of the
neighbouring properties either side, thereby conflicting with Policies SP4 and
DM10 of the Croydon London Plan (2018).
2
By reason of its siting, scale, bulk, and design the proposed two storey side
extension would dominate and detract from the character and appearance of
the existing building and surrounding area harming the visual amenities of
the street scene. The proposal would thereby conflict with Policy D4 of the
London Plan 2021 and Policies SP4 and DM10 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.
