Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would provide a poor standard of accommodation required for a house of multiple occupation in terms of fire safety measures and therefore would not be in line with Council guidance "House in Multiple Occupation Standards" in regard to the Housing Act of 2004 published in October 2015 and contrary to Policy H9 of the London Plan 2021.
  2. The local authority is not satisfied that sufficient detail has been provided to ensure that the proposal would provide suitable refuse storage facilities including storage for larger bulky items leading to potential conflict with other users of the site in terms of access, appearance and efficiency of the public highway contrary to Policy DM13 (b,c,d) of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.
  3. The proposal fails to provide suitable parking provision for the proposed development, demonstrate that any overspill parking could be accommodated on the surrounding highway network through appropriate parking stress surveys, provide an acceptable parking layout and appropriate cycle storage arrangements. Collectively these shortcomings could lead to unacceptable transport and highway impacts contrary to London Plan (2021) policies T4, T5, T6.1 and Croydon Local Plan (2018) policies DM29, DM30.
  4. The applicant has failed to secure through an appropriate mechanisms (such as section 106 agreement) appropriate mitigations and obligations to ensure compliance with policy in respect to sustainable modes of transport and promotion and is therefore contrary to Croydon Local Plan (2018) policies SP8 and DM29 and London Plan (2021) policy T4.
