Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on protected species, with specific regard to bats
  • the character and appearance of the area
  • pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause harm to protected species (bats) contrary to Policy G6 of the London Plan and Policy DM27 of the Croydon Local Plan, which provides a clear reason for refusal that outweighs all other matters.

Plan policies cited: Policy G6 of the London Plan (March 2021), Policy DM27 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan, Policy SP4.1 of the Croydon Local Plan, Policy T2 of the London Plan, Policy T4 of the London Plan, Policy D5 of the London Plan, Policy DM29 of the Croydon Local Plan
