Why it was refused

  1. The proposed hip-to-gable extension would harm the architectural balance of the semi-detached pair and would result in a roof form that is overly large and visually dominant when viewed from the streetscene. The proposal therefore fails to respect the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area and is contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
