Why it was refused

  1. The proposed proposals, by reason of their size, bulk, massing and design, would result in a visually bulky and incongruous addition that fails to respect the character of the original property and the established pattern of development within the street. The development would disrupt the cohesive architectural character of the host dwelling and surrounding area, contrary to Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. The proposed first floor extension and dormer, would result in an overbearing and visually intrusive form when viewed from neighbouring property and would give rise to an increased sense of enclosure and loss of outlook and light to no.22, resulting in unacceptable harm to residential amenity contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
