Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would create adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the flats and commercial unit with regard to the provision of refuse facilities, and amenity space provision for proposed Unit 4
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the building and area, with particular reference to the proposed front roof extension, window and door style, and the siting of the cycle and refuse stores
- whether the proposal would encourage sustainable modes of transport with regard to the provision of adequate cycle storage facilities
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate that the refuse storage enclosure would be of sufficient size to provide adequate refuse and recycling provision required for the development, conflicting with Policy D6 of the London Plan and Policy DM13 of the Croydon Local Plan.
