Land Adjacent to Rosecroft Round Grove Croydon CR0 7PP
Proposal: Demolition of Sub Station and erection of a two-bedroom two storey dwelling with associated amenity space, car parking, refuse storage and cycle storage.
We objected to this proposed development on grounds that the Residential Density is inappropriate and is non-compliant to the current adopted London Plan Policy 3.4. We objected to this proposed development on the grounds that the proposed dwelling does NOT meet the required minimum space standards and therefore does not fully comply with the London Plan Policy 3.5.
We objected to this proposed development on the grounds that it is not compliant to the Croydon Plan at Policy 10.7 a), is non-compliant to Croydon Plan Policy DM10.7 d) and is non-compliant to Croydon Plan Policy 10 Design & Character Policy 10.9 a). We also objected on grounds that the Refuse & Recycling provision does not meet the requirements of the Croydon Plan Policy DM13: Refuse and recycling.
We also objected to this proposed development on the ground that the parking provision is inadequate and is therefore non-compliant to Croydon Plan Policy DM30: Car and cycle parking in new development. The proposed development does not comply with the Policies of the Shirley “Place” Homes para 11.200 as it does not respect existing residential character and local distinctiveness and Shirley “Place” Character, Heritage and Design para 11.201 as it is NOT sensitive to the existing residential character.
