Why it was refused

  1. The proposed first-floor extension, by reason of its excessive height, scale, bulk and full-width design, would result in a visually dominant and incongruous form of development that would fail to respect the established character of this section of Orchard Way. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies D3 of the London Plan (2021) and SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and the design objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
  2. The proposed development, by reason of its increased height and proximity to the shared boundary with No. 3 Orchard Way, would result in an unacceptable loss of outlook and a potentially unacceptable loss of daylight and sunlight to the south-facing first-floor bedroom window at that property, to the detriment of the living conditions of its occupiers. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies D3 of the London Plan (2021) and SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
