Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would have a negative impact on the character of the area introducing a cramped and overbearing form of development by reason of its size, siting, design, height and orientation. The proposed dwelling would fail to respond positively to the local context or reinforce the existing predominant character of the area and would thereby conflict with Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. The proposed development would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of no. 29a Mount Park Avenue, South Croydon by reason of its size, siting and design resulting in visual intrusion and overbearing impact and would thereby conflict with Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
