About this application

This is a planning application for a dormer extension at 8 Famet Close Purley CR8 2DX. Croydon has handled 19,636 applications of this type. This one was decided in 14 days, 6 weeks quicker than Croydon's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 2,481 applications in total for the CR8 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The cubic content of the resulting roof space would exceed the cubic content of the original roof space by more than 50 cubic metres in the case of a semi-detached house. The proposal therefore does not comply with the criteria of paragraphs B.1 (d) of Classes A of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the GPDO 2015 (as amended) First Schedule: Erection of hip to gable and rear dormer extension includes installation of 2x rooflights to the front roofslope.

From the council's decision notice.
