Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in the overdevelopment of the site with a height, layout, plot widths and depths which would be incongruous and out of keeping with the design of the surrounding buildings; particular those that exist on the back-land sites in the immediate locality. The development would have a significantly detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the area and thereby conflicts with Policies D3, D4 and D5 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.
  2. The proposal would be significantly detrimental to the amenities of 110 Norbury Hill by reason of the positioning, footprint width and depth of the built form. The resulting impact would be unduly overbearing and visually intrusive to 110 Norbury Hill and would result in overlooking and loss of privacy to the detriment of the surrounding properties which would thereby conflict with Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.
  3. In the absence of a legal agreement, the application does not offer a contribution to improvements to sustainable transport to alleviate traffic generation created by the development. The proposal would thereby be contrary to Policy T6.1 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies SP8 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.
  4. The proposed development would fail to provide sufficient pedestrian and vehicular access width, visibility splays and fails to demonstrate acceptable delivery and servicing to serve the site, contrary to Policies T4, T5, T6 and T7 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies SP8, DM13, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.
  5. It has not been demonstrated that the development would meet the required fire safety standards contrary to Policy D12 of the London Plan 2021.
