Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Croydon Conservation Area, and its effect on the significance of 77-81 North End as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision through planning obligations in respect of car parking arrangements and sustainable transport

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Central Croydon Conservation Area and the Non-Designated Heritage Asset through the visual competition between the roof extension and the decorative parapet was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.

The substantial weight attached to the delivery of a dwelling contributing to housing needs was substantially outweighed by the substantial weight attached to the conservation of the designated heritage asset, given the small scale of the scheme's benefits and the identified harm to the character and appearance of the area.
