Why it was refused

  1. The development due to its siting, size, design and illumination would dominate the immediate public realm and would be out of keeping with the character of the streetscene. The proposal would have a negative impact on the Local Heritage Area and the setting of a locally listed building at No. 960 Brighton Road. The development therefore conflicts with Croydon Local Plan (2018) Policies SP4, DM12 and DM18, London Plan (2021) Policy D8, the NPPF, and the Croydon Public Realm Design Guide (2019).

From the council's decision notice.
