Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its lack of suitable pedestrian visibility sightlines and the driveway gradient, the proposed development poses a hazard to the safety of pedestrians and vehicle users. The proposal would thereby conflict with Policies DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policy T2 of the London Plan (2021).
  2. By reason of its design, siting, size and scale the proposed development would be an incongruous, unsympathetic and visually intrusive addition to the streetscene and locality. It would fail to respect and enhance Croydon's varied local character and contribute positively to the townscape and would harm the setting of the adjacent Conservation Area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies SP4, DM10 and DM18 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), and the provisions of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
