CVRA Comments
Whilst we do not normally object where local families are looking to extend their properties, at over 700 square meters this is a large overdevelopment of the site which due to its bulk and mass that will create an overbearing incompatible building compared to the surrounding houses. It fails to integrate into the neighbourhood, causing significant harm to the appearance of the site, the surrounding area and the street scene.
We believe this proposal is similar to others that have been refused by the Council with the following wording:
“”The proposed extension, by reason of its depth, width and overall design and its combined nature, would result in a dominant, incongruous, overbearing, visually intrusive and excessive form of development that would substantially harm the form, proportion and appearance of the property, character and appearance of the area and visual amenities of the streetscene. As such, the proposal would be contrary to Polices 7.4 and 7.6 of the London Plan 2016, Policies D1 and D2 of the Draft London Plan 2018, Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018…….””
At less than 1.5m to the edge of the plots we believe the side extensions are too close to the boundaries on either side.
The front of the proposed extension appears to be in front of the existing building line.
There appears no evidence of the 45% rear extension check blocking light check.
Please help protect your Croham Valley area from these Developers; it’s important that you Object to this particular Planning Application because of the risk of establishing a dangerous precedent, the strength of local opinion does count in many cases, as has been seen recently.
Thanks & best regards,
