The siting, layout, design and size of dwelling would be inappropriate for this location and the proposal would have a negative impact on the character and appearance of the area in conflict with chapter 12 of the NPPF (2019), policies D3 and D4 of the London Plan (2021), policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), and the Supplementary Planning Document: Suburban Design Guide (2019).

The proposal would cause unacceptable loss of light and outlook for neighbouring occupants of number 4 Hillcroft Avenue. It would be contrary to the provisions outlined in the Suburban Design Guide SPD (2019) and Policy DM10 of the of the Croydon Local Plan, which seek to secure good design for development and to protect the residential amenities of adjacent properties.

There is insufficient information for the Local Planning Authority to be satisfied that the proposed development would have no adverse impact on the highway. By reason of a lack information relating to visiblity splays, the layout of the vehicle crossover and associated parking space would not be safe, secure, efficient and would have a detrimental impact on highway safety, thereby conflicting with policies DM29 and DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018) and policies T5 and T6 of the London Plan (2021).

The development would result in the loss of or the putting at risk of valued trees which is unacceptable and would thereby conflict with chapter 15 of the NPPF (2019), policy G7 of the London Plan (2021) and Policy DM28 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018).
