Authority: London Borough of Croydon
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Williams K

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the supply of small family housing in the borough
whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers in relation to housing standards
whether or not the proposal would function effectively having regard to the provision of cycle storage
whether the proposal would make acceptable provision for sustainable transport improvements and enhancements

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with multiple development plan policies regarding family housing supply, housing space standards, cycle storage design, and sustainable transport contributions, with positive elements insufficient to outweigh the demonstrable harm.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM1, Policy SP2, Policy D6, Policy DM10, Policy T5, Policy T6, Policy DM30, Policy SP8, Policy DM29

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
