72 Lower Addiscombe Road, Croydon, CR0 6AB

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
• The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the host building with particular regard to outlook, light and access
• The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers on Lower Addiscombe Road with particular regard to privacy and light
• Whether the proposed parking layout would be safe, secure and efficient
• Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for any necessary developer contributions arising from the development

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers of the host building (outlook and access) and to the privacy of neighbouring occupiers at Nos 74-80 Lower Addiscombe Road, for which no acceptable solution was before the Inspector.

The significant harm to living conditions of future occupiers and neighbouring occupiers, causing conflict with the development plan as a whole, was not outweighed by the acceptable design, safe parking layout and secured transport contributions, so the appeal was dismissed.
