Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its increased ridge height, altered roof forms, and overall scale, would result in a visually dominant and unsympathetic addition that fails to respect the character and proportions of the host dwelling or the coherent group of 1930s properties within the streetscene. The cumulative impact would cause unacceptable harm to local character and is therefore contrary to Policies D4 and D6 of the London Plan 2021 and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
