Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in the unjustified loss of all car parking from the site and displacement parking onto the public highway where there is already high parking stress. The proposed development would be detrimental to highway safety for all road users, contrary to policies T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP8, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
