Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- In Appeal B only: whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of proposed Houses 3 and 4, with particular regard to outlook, enclosure, and daylight
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by introducing substantial built form and hardstanding into a spacious, verdant suburban area with generous plots, combined in Appeal B with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery.

- Development plan policies
- Policy DM10 of the 2018 Croydon Local PlanPolicy D3 of the London Plan 2021Policy SP2.8 of the Croydon Local PlanPolicy D6 of the London Plan 2021
