30 Fairdene Road Coulsdon CR5 1RA

1. 1.The proposed development would solely consist of one-bedroom units and would not provide any three-bedroom family units. The proposal would therefore be in conflict with Policy SP2.7 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
2. 2.The proposed development, by reason of its scale, siting, overdominance of hardstanding, and lack of soft landscaping, would represent an overbearing, overly cramped, and incongruous development which would harm the character of the host dwelling and the wider area. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021).
3. 3.The proposed side/rear extension, by reason of its scale and siting would be detrimental to the residential amenity of the neighbouring occupiers by way of sense of enclosure, overbearing impact, and overlooking, contrary to policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and policy DM10.6 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
4. 4.The proposed development, by reason of inadequate private amenity space, would fail to provide an acceptable standard of development for future occupiers, contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan and Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
5. 5.The proposed parking arrangement, by way of inadequate visibility and excessive crossover width, would result in a detrimental impact to the highway safety and pedestrian environment of the area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to policy T4 of the London Plan (2021), and policy SP8 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
