Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its bulk, scale and massing, the proposed extension would be overly dominant, failing to respect the massing or appearance of the host dwelling and appearing out of character with, and detrimentally harmful to the surrounding area. The development would thereby conflict with Policy D3 of London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. The proposed rear extension, by reason of its overall scale, bulk and siting, would constitute an unneighbourly form of development that would have detrimental daylight and sunlight impacts on no.90 Hartley Down and an overbearing impact on no.94 Hartley Down that would result in a reduction in outlook and leading to an increased sense of enclosure. The development would thereby conflict with policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
