Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its size, siting, form and design would result in a disproportionate, dominant and overbearing form of development that would harm the proportions, appearance and rhythm of the existing building and wider terrace. The proposed development would therefore detract from the character and appearance of the locality and would be contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. The single storey rear extension would be detrimental to the residential amenities of 120 Green Lane by reason of its size and siting resulting in visual intrusion and overshadowing. The development would therefore conflict with Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon London Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
