Why it was refused

  1. Inadequate information has been provided to demonstrate how the vehicle access could be formed or that the proposed car parking could be provided and accessed via gradients that are acceptable adjacent to the public highway and within the site. The proposal would adversely impact existing parking provision on Ravensdale Gardens where there is already significant parking stress. The submitted drawings are not accurate and are conflicting, showing differing parking layouts. It has also not been demonstrated that acceptable refuse facilities would be provided for the storage, collection and management of the disposal of waste from the site. The development therefore conflicts with the requirements of Policies T4 , T6 and T7 of London Plan (2021) and Policies SP8, DM13, DM29 and DM30 Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. The development would result in the loss of large, high value trees that provide important visual amenity and contribute positivity to the character of the wider area, with no scope on site for replacement of planting. The proposal is therefore contrary to requirements of Policy G7 London Plan (2021) and Policies DM28 and DM10.8 of Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
