Why it was refused

  1. The proposed outbuilding, associated land level alterations and ramps would result in visually dominant and incongruous additions that would out of keeping with the character of the area. The proposal would thereby conflict with Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. By reason of its height, depth, siting and design the proposed outbuilding would appear visually intrusive and overbearing and would be detrimental to the residential amenities of nearby properties. The development is therefore contrary to Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
