Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed vehicular access would operate safely. In particular, adequate pedestrian and vehicular visibility splays, as requested by the Council's Highway Authority, have not been submitted, and insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed crossover accords with the Council's Vehicle Crossover Guidelines. In the absence of this information, the Local Planning Authority cannot be satisfied that the development would not be detrimental to pedestrian and highway safety. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SP8.6, DM10 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
