L&Q are asking Croydon Council to give them permission NOT to undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed development at 30-38 Addiscombe Road.
They are proposing to build a block of flats with a frontage on Addiscombe Road three stories higher than the buildings on either side and much closer to the road. Yet, in section 4.4 of their application, they say that the visual affect of the building would not be “adverse” in the immediate area. In section 5.3, they say that the building would contribute positively to the surrounding landscape.

You can make comments on the application by emailing addiscombe@croydonlabour.org.uk. by 15 November.
