Why it was refused

  1. The proposed two storey side extension, by reason of its scale, massing and position along the boundary with 69 Brian Avenue, would create a visually dominant and overbearing form that would result in a material loss of daylight, outlook and a harmful increased sense of enclosure for neighbouring occupiers. The development therefore fails to provide an acceptable standard of amenity for adjoining residents. The proposal is contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
