Why it was refused

  1. The proposal, by reason of its design, layout and massing would be harmful to the character and appearance of the streetscene. The proposal would fail to respect and enhance Croydon's varied local character and contribute positively to the townscape. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), and the provisions of the NPPF.
  2. 2Unacceptable vehicle access and parking arrangements are proposed which would result in unsafe impacts on the highway, pedestrians and other road users contrary to Policies DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policies T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021).
  3. Inadequate information has been submitted to calculate the baseline habitat on site, it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies DM27 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), G6 of the London Plan (2021), the provisions of the NPPF (2024) and Schedule 7A (Biodiversity Gain in England) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
