Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dormer extension, by reason of its siting, mass and bulk, would be an incongruous addition to the roof and would have a detrimental impact on the character of the host building. The proposal fails to comply with Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4.1 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. The proposed cycle store, by reason of its scale and siting, would be an incongruous feature in the streetscene, resulting in the loss of the raised landscape area on the frontage. Access to the cycle store would be awkward, and the storage arrangements would not offer space for a wider or adapted bike. The proposal fails to comply with Policies T5 and D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies DM10, DM16, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  3. The proposed refuse storage, by reason of its inadequate capacity and permanent positioning on the pavement, would not be easily accessible by occupiers and would cause an obstruction to pedestrians. The proposal fails to comply with policies DM13 and DM29 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
