About this application

This is a planning application at Sanctum Apartments 74 Brighton Road Purley CR8 2LJ. Croydon has handled 19,636 applications of this type. This one was decided in 35 days, 3 weeks quicker than Croydon's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 2,481 applications in total for the CR8 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The Beech; mature specimen of normal vigour which contributes to the sylvan character of the locale. It is currently considered that the reasons stated by the applicant for wanting to carry out the works do not outweigh the amenity importance offered by the tree. The application is, therefore, contrary to The Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
