Why it was refused

  1. The proposed installation of a vehicular access point due to its siting in close proximity to a sharp bend with constrained visibility and the resultant presence of on-street parking with insufficient manoeuvring space, along with the absence of adequate evidence to demonstrate that appropriate visibility splays, forward visibility and safe access arrangements can be achieved, would give rise to an unacceptable risk of conflict between vehicles, pedestrians and other road users, including equestrian movements, and would thus fail to provide safe and suitable access for all highway users. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies SP8 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), and the guidance set out in Manual for Streets (2007).

From the council's decision notice.
