Why it was refused
- The proposed development would fail to provide any three bedroom homes in line with the council's strategic 30% target. The proposal would therefore conflict with Policy H10 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy SP2.7 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
- The proposed development would provide a poor standard of accommodation for future occupiers. Flats C and D would fall below the nationally described space standards, Flat E would fail to meet the minimum floor to ceiling height, and the communal amenity space would result in unacceptable impacts on the privacy of Flats A and B and appears to be inaccessible to the upper floor flats. The proposal conflicts with Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP2.8 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
- The submitted plans do not demonstrate that vehicles can enter and leave the site in forward gear resulting in a failure to demonstrate that harm would not be caused to the existing highways network. The proposal would conflict with Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
- The proposed cycle storage does not meet the requirements of the London Plan or the London Cycling Design Standards in terms of capacity, layout or provision for wider and adapted cycles. The proposal would conflict with Policy T5 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
- The proposed refuse storage provision does not accord with the Council's waste management requirements. No bin enclosure or bulky goods storage area has been provided. The proposal would conflict with Policy DM13 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
- In the absence of a legal agreement to restrict future occupiers' eligibility for parking permits and secure a financial contribution towards sustainable transport improvements, the proposal would conflict with Policies SP8.12, SP8.13, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
