Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of its encroachment into the Root Protection Area of the Lime tree, would be likely to cause significant harm to the health and viability of the tree and, as a result, material harm to the visual amenity of the South Norwood Conservation Area. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Policies N2, N3 and HE9 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2026), Policies HC1 and G7 of the London Plan (2021), and Policies DM18 and DM28 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
  2. It has not been demonstrated that the proposal would not have a detrimental impact on the local highway network by reason of increased on-street parking stress. The proposal would therefore fail to comply with policies T4, T6 and T6.1 of the London Plan (2021) and policies DM29, and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).

From the council's decision notice.
