Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property and the street scene
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers in terms of its potential to be visually intrusive, appear overbearing and to overshadow

What decided it

The extensions as designed would be subservient in height, well-mannered additions that would not harm the character and appearance of the host property, street scene, or living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan (Adopted March 2021), Policy SP4 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018, Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018
