Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by reason of its design, size and scale would harm the character and appearance of the application site and would harm the significance of this locally listed building. As such, the development would be contrary to Policies D3 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021), Policies DM10, DM18 and SP4 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and the provisions of the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
