275 Addiscombe Road Croydon CR0 7HY

1. 1.Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate an identified quantitative or qualitative need for the proposed care home. In the absence of a robust assessment of need, the proposal has not been justified and is therefore contrary to Policy DM2 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), Policy H12 of the London Plan (2021) and Paragraph 72 of the NPPF (2026).
2. 2.The proposed development would result in the net loss of a family-sized dwelling, for which there is an identified need within the Borough. The loss of this residential unit would reduce the supply of housing and is therefore contrary to Policy SP2 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
3. 3.In the absence of a parking stress survey or other robust evidence, it has not been demonstrated that the parking demand arising from the proposed development could be accommodated without causing unacceptable on- street parking pressure and harm to the operation of the local highway network. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), Policy T4 of the London Plan (2021) and paragraphs TR3 and TR6 of the NPPF (2026).
4. 4.The applicant has failed to secure, through a s106 agreement or other appropriate mechanism, the mitigation and obligations necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms. In particular, no provision has been made for carbon offset payments, 'Be Seen' post-occupancy energy monitoring, air quality mitigation, or local employment and training initiatives. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policies SI1, SI2 and E11 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy SP6 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
