The Planning Committee of Croydon Council met on Thursday 23 July 2026. The primary focus of the meeting was to consider a retrospective planning application for amendments to a previously approved development at The Grove, Coulsdon. The committee also received a list of recent planning decisions made under delegated powers.

Planning Application for Decision

24/04074/FUL - The Grove, Coulsdon, CR5 2BH

The committee was scheduled to consider a material amendment under Section 73A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for a planning permission previously granted for the erection of an eight-flat building at The Grove, Coulsdon. The amendment sought to alter the design, fenestrations, footprint, height, materials, and roofscape of the approved building. It also included changes to the internal layout of the dwellings and the car park layout, specifically the removal of one vehicle parking space. The application was a retrospective one, as the development had already been carried out with discrepancies from the original consent. The report pack indicated a recommendation to grant permission, subject to the completion of a legal agreement and the imposition of various conditions relating to landscaping, privacy screening, cycle and refuse storage, vehicle parking, and energy efficiency.
