About this application

This is a planning application for an extension at 24 Church Hill Purley CR8 3QN. Croydon has handled 19,636 applications of this type. This one was decided in 146 days, 13 weeks longer than Croydon's typical decision time. There have been 2 other applications at this address. We hold 2,481 applications in total for the CR8 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The number of car parking spaces together with the bicycle and refuse storage would appear cramped and result in a cluttered front garden which would cause significant harm to the character of the area contrary to policy DM10 and SP4 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policy D3 and D4 of the London Plan 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
