Why it was refused

  1. The development fails to comply with Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA.1 (h) and (i), and Class AA.2 (2) (a) as set out by Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development (Amendment) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
  2. The proposal by reason of its design would have a detrimental impact on the character of the area in the context of the street scene, and the external appearance of the building and would therefore be unacceptable, failing to comply with AA.2 (3) (a) (ii) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), Policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018). Details of application: - Notification for prior approval under the GPDO 2015 under Class AA for an upwards extension of up to two storeys with accommodation within the roofspace to a dwellinghouse, alterations including replacement fenestration.
