Authority: London Borough of Croydon
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Other minor developments
Inspector: Worley E

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers having particular regard to internal floor to ceiling heights
Whether the proposal would include appropriate provision for the parking of vehicles and bicycles in order to encourage sustainable travel choices

What decided it

The proposal would introduce a form of development fundamentally at odds with the established character of the area comprising pairs of semi-detached properties, creating an anomalous terraced row that would disrupt the existing rhythm and pattern of development.

Plan policies cited: LP Policy D4, CLP Policy DM10, LP Policy D6, CLP Policy SP2.8, LP Policy T5, LP Policy T6.1, CLP Policy DM30

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
