About this application

This is a planning application for a single storey rear extension at 6 Bisenden Road Croydon CR0 6UN. Croydon has handled 19,636 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 5,298 applications in total for the CR0 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of insufficient internal floorspace, insufficient bedspace sizes, insufficient internal ceiling heights, lack of directly accessible private amenity space for the family-sized unit, and potential noise, odours and disturbance from refuse storage would result in a cramped living environment and sub-standard accommodation for future occupants. The development therefore fails to comply with the Croydon Local Plan (2018), in particular policies DM10 and SP4, and the London Plan (2021), in particular policies D3 and D6.
  2. The proposed development would not provide well designed, adequate, and accessible refuse and cycle storage facilities to serve the needs of future residents. The development therefore fails to comply with the Croydon Local Plan (2018), in particular policy DM13, SP8, DM29, and DM30, the London Plan (2021), in particular policies D3, T5 and SI 7, and the London Cycle Design Standards (2016).
  3. In the absence of a legal agreement, to secure measures to mitigate the impacts of the development as a consequence of demands created by the proposed development in respect of preventing on-street parking, the proposal would fail to mitigate harmful impacts and would be unacceptable in planning terms. The proposal therefore conflicts with Policies T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP8, DM29, and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
