About this application

This is a planning application for a change of use at 1391 - 1393 London Road Norbury London SW16 4AN. Croydon has handled 19,636 applications of this type. This one was decided in 70 days, 2 weeks longer than Croydon's typical decision time. There have been 8 other applications at this address. In the past year there have been 1 application across Beeston West. We hold 3,708 applications in total for the SW16 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed opening hours of the premises would result in unacceptable noise and disturbance to the occupiers of neighbouring properties and would therefore fail to comply with Policies DM10, and DM23 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 and D13 and D14 of the London Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
