After considering the officer's report and addendum, Councillor Chris Wright moved and Councillor Luke Clancy seconded REFUSAL, on the grounds of being out of character with the area, excessively large and inadequate parking, and the Committee voted 2 in favour, 3 against, so this motion fell.

 

The Committee then voted on a second motion to APPROVE the officer's recommendation, proposed by Councillor Stuart King and seconded by Councillor Joy Prince.  The result was 3 in favour and 2 against, so planning permission was GRANTED for development at land at the rear of 31-33 Croham Valley Road, South Croydon, CR2 7JE.
