About this application

This is a planning application for a loft conversion at 6 Firsby Avenue Croydon CR0 8TL. Croydon has handled 19,636 applications of this type. This one was decided in 53 days, 3 days quicker than Croydon's typical decision time. There has been 1 other application at this address. We hold 5,298 applications in total for the CR0 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed roof extension by reason of its mass, form, siting and design would result in an incongruous and obtrusive addition which would be detrimental to the appearance of the building and out of keeping with the appearance of the streetscene. It would fail to respect and enhance Croydon's varied local character and contribute positively to the townscape. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies D3, D4 of the London Plan 2021 and Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018.

From the council's decision notice.
