About this application

This is a planning application for a change of use at 42 Vulcan Way Croydon CR0 9UG. Croydon has handled 19,636 applications of this type. This one was decided in 55 days. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 1 application across Oval. We hold 5,298 applications in total for the CR0 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by virtue of the loss of a protected industrial/employment use within a 'Tier 1' 'Separated Industrial Location' would result in the loss of employment land in a location which is of most economic importance to the borough. The development would therefore conflict with Policy SP3 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) as well as policy E4 of the London Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
