Why it was refused
- No evidence of an identified need for type of care home has been provided in the application and the change of use would result in the net loss of a family-sized dwelling. The application is contrary to London Plan (2021) policy H12 and Croydon Local Plan (2018) policies DM1.2 and SP2.7.
