188 - 190 Addington Road South Croydon CR2 8LB

1. 1.The proposed development, by reason of the inadequate floor to ceiling heights, lack of provision of private amenity space, and the poor quality and indirect access arrangements to the residential units, would result in a poor standard of accommodation for future occupiers. The proposal would therefore fail to provide a high quality residential environment and would be contrary to Policies D5 and D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM10.6 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
2. 2.The proposed extension would be detrimental to the residential amenities of the existing upper floor residential accommodation by reason of its size and siting, resulting in an increased sense of enclosure and loss of outlook, and would thereby conflict with Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon London Plan (2018).
3. 3.The proposed development, by reason of failing to provide adequate off street parking within an area of poor public transport accessibility and not sufficiently demonstrating that the proposal would not result in unacceptable overspill parking on surrounding roads, would be likely to exacerbate parking stress and harm the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network. Furthermore, the proposal fails to demonstrate the provision of cycle parking and appropriate refuse storage. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies SP8, DM10 and DM29 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and Policies T4 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021).
4. 4.The proposed development, by reason of the introduction of side facing windows serving habitable rooms in close proximity to the boundaries shared with neighbouring sites, would prejudice the development potential of adjoining properties and would therefore be contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
