Why it was refused

  1. The proposed raised platform area would be detrimental to the residential amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining property no.41 by reason of its siting which would allow overlooking. The proposal would therefore conflict with Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 and Policy D3 and D6 of the London Plan 2021.
  2. The proposal would include a raised platform from the proposed rear extension to the ground. Therefore the proposal does not comply the criteria of A.1 (k)(i) of Class A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Details of application: - Erection of a single storey rear extension which projects out from the rear wall of the original house by 7.5 metres, with an eaves height of 3.2 metres and a maximum roof height of 3.75 metres.

From the council's decision notice.
