Why it was refused

The proposed Houses in Multiple Occupancy are likely to result in a harmful increase in car parking stress. Inadequate provision is made for car parking within the site and any overspill parking could result in harm to the safety and efficiency of the highway due to increased parking congestion and forms of anti-social parking. The development is therefore contrary to Policies T4 and T6 of the London Plan 2021 and Polices SP8, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.
The proposed development would not provide adequate and accessible refuse and cycle storage facilities to serve the needs of future residents contrary to Policies SI 7, SI 8 and T5 of the London Plan 2021, Policies SP4, DM13, SP8, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 and London Cycle Design Standards (LCDS) 2014.
The proposal by reason of its increased occupancy levels (in respect of households) would harm the residential amenities of neighbouring properties by reason of general noise and disturbance. The proposal would be contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
