Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effects of the proposal on protected species and habitats
  • Effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Effects of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of nearby properties, with particular regard to the outlook of nos. 2-10 Everton Road
  • Highway safety and parking
  • Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to natural lighting and outlook, accessibility, cycle and refuse storage

What decided it

The proposal could not be approved because it could not be established with certainty that protected species would not be adversely affected, conflicting with policies G6 of the London Plan 2021, DM27 and SP7 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018, and the Framework's biodiversity objectives.
