inadequate transport accessibility
Croydon Council recently refused a development application for five new homes, citing highway concerns related to transport accessibility.
Croydon's Planning Committee refused permission in April 2026 for alterations and extensions at 24 Church Hill, Purley, which aimed to create five new residential units. The committee's decision was partly based on highway concerns, despite officers advising the scheme was policy compliant and previous inspectorate decisions held significant weight. This refusal followed two previous refusals and dismissed appeals for similar applications at the same site.
No further discussions or decisions regarding inadequate transport accessibility are currently scheduled in the provided material. The topic of inadequate transport accessibility relates to developments having insufficient or poor access for transportation, which can be a factor in planning decisions.
