Why it was refused

  1. The proposed entrance canopy, by reason of its bulk, height and prominence, would result in less than substantial harm to the conservation area which would not be outweighed by public benefits. The proposed development fails to comply with paragraph 215 of the NPPF (2024), policy HC1 of the London Plan (2021) and policies DM10 and DM18 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
