77 & Land To Rear Of 75 Woodmere Avenue Croydon CR0 7PX

1. 1.The proposed development, by reason of its scale, massing, siting and layout, would result in a cramped, overly dominant and incongruous form of backland development that would fail to respect the established pattern and character of the area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
2. 2.The proposed development would require the removal of a substantial number of trees which make a positive contribution to the character and environmental quality of the area. The proposed replacement planting would not adequately mitigate the loss, resulting in unacceptable harm to tree cover and the visual amenity of the area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy G7 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies SP7 and DM28 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
3. 3.In the absence of sufficient ecological information, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would not result in harm to protected species. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy G6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM27 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018)
4. 4.In the absence of a legal agreement to secure a financial contribution towards sustainable transport improvements, the proposal would fail to adequately mitigate its transport impacts and would therefore be contrary to Policies T4 and T6 of the London Plan (2021) and Policies DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
