Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space, internal space, privacy, daylight, and ventilation
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of on-street parking
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wellesley Road North Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 81 Wellesley Road with regard to loss of daylight
- whether the proposal would provide adequate refuse storage
What decided it
The proposal's failure to provide adequate private outdoor space for future occupiers, contrary to London Plan Policy D6 and Croydon Local Plan Policy DM10, combined with the unacceptable impact on highway safety from increased on-street parking, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not indicate it should be decided otherwise.
