Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its scale, depth and siting, the rear extension would be detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of adjoining property 71A Winterbourne Road by way of being visually overbearing and intrusive, causing overshadowing. The development is therefore contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
