Why it was refused

  1. The development would create a safety hazard to pedestrians and vehicular traffic using the highway by reason of an inadequate design and layout, resulting in vehicles being unable to enter and exit in forward gear on a busy class A road. The proposal would result in an unacceptable risk to highway safety and the efficient operation of the highway network and is therefore contrary to Policy T4 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP8, DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), the Council's Vehicle Crossover Guidance, and the provisions of the NPPF (2024).
  2. The proposed vehicular crossover would require excavation and root severance within the tree's rooting area which would adversely affect the health and structural stability of the tree and increase its susceptibility to decay. The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to a valuable street tree, contrary to Policy G7 of the London Plan (2021), Policies DM28 and DM10.7 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and the provisions of the NPPF (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
