Why it was refused

  1. The development would result in an over intensive use of the site resulting in an unacceptable level of noise and general disturbance for the occupiers of adjoining properties. The proposal would thereby conflict with Part C of Policy SP4.2 of the Croydon Local Plan – Strategic Policies, Policies EP1 and H8 of the Croydon Replacement Unitary Development Plan (The Croydon Plan) 2006 Saved Policies and Policies 7.6 and 7.15 of the London Plan 2011.
  2. The development would have a cramped and overcrowded layout resulting in substandard living standards for future occupiers of the dwelling and would thereby conflict with Policies UD2, UD8 and H2 of the Croydon Replacement Unitary Development Plan (The Croydon Plan) 2006 Saved Policies, Policies
  3. 5 and 7.4 of the London Plan 2011. 3. The development would represent the loss of a small family housing unit, which is of significant demand in the Borough, contrary to Policy H11 of the Croydon Replacement Unitary Development Plan (The Croydon Plan) 2006 Saved Policies.
  4. In the absence of a Transport Statement, the impact of the development upon parking and highways in the locality of the site cannot be adequately assessed. In accordance with Policy T8 of the Croydon Replacement Unitary Development Plan (The Croydon Plan) 2006 Saved Policies and London Plan (2011) policies 6.3 and 6.13.

From the council's decision notice.
