Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in an incongruous form of development which would be at odds with the character of the Local Heritage Area. The external staircase and glass screen would constitute incongruous features that would be out of character with the prevailing pattern of development and would fail to respect the character and appearance of the building and appearance of the row of buildings of which it would be attached. These incongruous additions would be readily visible in the St Peters Road street scene. The development would fail to protect and enhance the buildings, townscape and landscape features that make a positive contribution to the special character and appearance of the Local Heritage Area and would thereby not comply with Policies SP4, DM10 and DM18 of Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policies D3, D4 and HC1 of London Plan (2021).
  2. The proposed development would result in sub-standard accommodation by virtue of a combination of poor internal layout, poor outlook, lack of natural light and privacy, lack of internal storage space and poor access arrangements. It has also not been demonstrated whether the required floor to ceiling heights would be achieved. The development would thereby not comply with Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021).
  3. In the absence of a legal agreement, the application does not offer a mechanism to restrict future occupiers from applying for parking permits or to mitigate against transport impacts and would therefore have an unacceptable impact on parking stress and highway safety in the locality and would thereby conflict with Policies T4, T6 and T7 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP8 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
