Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its design, siting, scale, overall appearance, would appear as a cramped form of development and would have an uncharacteristic nature within the wider area and appear as an overdevelopment of the site. The scheme would, therefore, fail to respect the character and appearance of the area conflicting with Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018, and Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan 2021.
  2. The development would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of adjoining properties of No.1 Upper Grove and 10 Park Road by reason size, siting and design resulting in loss outlook and light, appearing overbearing to the neighbouring occupants contrary to Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 and D6 of the London Plan 2021
  3. The proposed development would fail to provide appropriate, fully accessible and easily located cycle facilities for future residents and therefore would fail to actively promote sustainable transport choice. As such, the development would be contrary to Policies SP8, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 and Policy T5 of the London Plan 2021 and the London Cycling Design Standards.
  4. In the absence of a legal agreement, the application does not secure measures to mitigate the impacts of the development by reason of demands created for on-street car parking or offer a contribution towards sustainable transport initiatives in the vicinity to alleviate traffic generation created by the development. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP8, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
