Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the supply of three bedroomed homes
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos.63 and 67 Donald Road, with particular regard to privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal floorspace and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate car parking and cycle parking
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate refuse and recycling facilities
What decided it
The proposal would result in the unacceptable loss of a three-bedroomed family home for which there is evidenced need, conflicting with Policies DM1.2 and SP2.7 of the Croydon Local Plan, and this fundamental conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by any material considerations.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM1.2, Policy SP2.7, Policy DM10, Policy DM10.6, Policy SP2, Policy DM29, Policy DM30, Policy DM13, Policy T6, Policy T5, Policy T4, Policy D3, Policy D6
