Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development meets the definition of a self-build dwelling and therefore the requirements of the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) exemption
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the proposed development qualifies as a self-build dwelling exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain requirements, combined with the absence of the statutory minimum information required to assess BNG compliance, constituted a material consideration that justified dismissal despite compliance with development plan policies on character and appearance.
Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy SP4 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018, Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018
