Why it was refused

  1. The proposed roof extension, by reason of its design and form, would result in a disproportionate and bulky roof profile, which does not respect the character and appearance of the existing building and would be out of character with the immediate area, resulting in harm to the visual amenity of the street scene. The proposed development therefore fails to comply with policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
