Boulevard Point, 15 Scarbrook Road
Croydon councillors approved a new residential flat at Boulevard Point in July 2026, despite concerns about the balcony design.
Croydon councillors approved plans for a new residential flat at Boulevard Point, 15 Scarbrook Road, in July 2026, involving a mezzanine level and alterations to the rear of the building. This decision by the Planning Sub-Committee came despite reservations about the design of the proposed balconies.
During the Planning Sub-Committee meeting in July 2026, councillors expressed strong disapproval of the balcony design, with one describing the perforated metal as 'horrific'. Concerns were raised that the design, intended to screen paraphernalia, was perceived to compromise privacy.
The approval in July 2026 followed a previous refusal of a similar application in 2023. That earlier application was rejected due to concerns over light, refuse, and cycle provision, according to a report in July 2026.
