Why it was refused
- The proposal, by reason of the design and massing of the building and site layout would be an overdevelopment of the site and would fail to respect the pattern of development. The proposal would fail to respect and enhance the local character. The proposal is contrary to Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Local Plan and D3 of the London Plan and the provisions of the NPPF.
- The proposed car-free development would result in a harmful increase of parking stress in the area and be detrimental to highway safety. The proposed development is contrary to Policies SP8, T6 and T7 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018
- The proposed development would result in poor quality accommodation for future occupiers of House 1 by reason of poor quality private amenity space. The proposal would thereby conflict with the policies DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and D6 of the London Plan (2021)
From the council's decision notice.
