About this application

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed rear extension, by reason of its depth and height, would cause an unacceptable loss of daylight and outlook to the rear habitable windows of No. 193 and No. 197 Green Lane and would be overbearing to both properties and gardens at No. 193 and No. 197 Green Lane. The proposal would be detrimental to the residential amenities of the adjoining properties contrary to Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021). Details of application: - Erection of a single storey rear extension which projects out from the rear wall of the original house by 6 metres, with an eaves height of 3 metres and a maximum roof height of 3 metres.

From the council's decision notice.
