Planning committee

Decided by Croydon Planning Sub-Committee on 3 Sept 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because the smaller bungalow would respect local character, provide acceptable accommodation and avoid significant neighbour harm, subject to conditions.
Twenty-four neighbours objected, raising concerns about overdevelopment, design, residential amenity, highways, trees, ecology, flooding and construction.
The committee voted unanimously to grant permission, with six members in favour and none against or abstaining.
