Why it was refused
- The proposed development by reason of its scale, bulk, siting and design, would result in an incongruous addition which would significantly harm the character and appearance of the existing building and the area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.
From the council's decision notice.
