6 Bennetts Way Croydon CR0 8AA

1. 1.By reason of its layout, scale, massing, design and particularly its prominent and poorly integrated roof form, the development results in an incongruous and visually intrusive addition that fails to appear subordinate to the host dwelling. The development appears as a separate and competing architectural element, detracting from the character and appearance of the original dwelling and the surrounding street scene. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), and the design objectives of Chapter 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
2. 2.By reason of its cumulative scale, height, massing, roof form and siting in close proximity to the shared boundary with No. 4 Bennetts Way, the development results in an unduly dominant and overbearing form of development that creates an unacceptable sense of enclosure for the occupiers of that property. The development therefore causes material harm to neighbouring residential amenity, contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), and the residential amenity objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
