Why it was refused
- The proposal, by virtue of its scale, form, bulk and design, would result in an overbearing feature that would be out of character with the existing dwelling and would have an unbalancing and detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the pair of semi-detached properties and the surrounding area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to the provisions of Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 and Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan 2021.
From the council's decision notice.
