Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the single storey rear/side infill extension at No 44 on the living conditions of the occupiers of the 42 Grange Park Road (No 42) with regard to light and outlook
- the effect of the roof extensions to No 44 on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The roof extensions to No 44 failed to remain subservient to the original form of the house and disrupted the consistent roofline rhythm of the properties in the section of Grange Park Road, thereby harming character and appearance contrary to Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan (March 2021), Policy D6 of the London Plan (March 2021), Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (February 2018), Policy SP4 of the Croydon Local Plan (February 2018)
