14 Briar Hill Purley CR8 3LE

1. 1.By reason of its massing, form and design, the proposed development would appear as a visually dominant and incongruent addition that would result in an unacceptable degree of harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Webb Estate and Upper Woodcote Conservation Area. The development would therefore conflict with Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024 as amended), the London Plan (2021) policies D3 and HC1, and Croydon Local Plan (2018) policies SP4, DM10 and DM18, as well as the Webb Estate and Upper Woodcote Village Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan.
2. 2.The proposal has failed to demonstrate that the health and longevity of trees of value which make a contribution to the character of the area, including those preserved by Conservation Area status protection, would be retained and maintained during the construction phase and operational phase of the development. The development would thereby conflict with Policies DM28 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and G7 of the London Plan (2021).
3. 3.By reason of the location of the rear balcony, the proposed development would cause a significant loss of privacy to the adjacent occupiers at Numbers 12 Briar Hill, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM10.6 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
