A large home in Croydon could be replaced with three flats if the council approves the plans - but more than 100 people have objected.

Walk-In Architecture applied to Croydon Council in April this year to convert the house standing at 132 St Andrews Road in Coulsdon.

The proposal states that the existing house will be built outwards and upwards to make way for three flats.

The first flat would have three bedrooms, housing six people.

The second flat would have two bedrooms, housing three people.

The third flat would have one bedroom, housing one person.

There would be two parking spaces and electrical charging stations.

Each property would also have its own space for storing bicycles and outdoor bins.

As well as a communal garden for residents, each flat will have their own private garden, with timber fencing, plants, grass areas, rain gardens and social areas, all surrounded by boundary fencing.

There would also be a patio.

The proposal states that access to public transport will be relatively easy, with the nearest station – Woodmansterne Station – located just a one-minute walk away.

However, residents from all over Croydon aren’t happy with this plan.

There have been 135 objections submitted on the Croydon Council website and zero supporters.

In their planning statement, Walk-In Architecture said: “This proposal has been designed to utilise the recent planning consent for a well-considered and sympathetic approach to extend and upgrade the property and provide a varied mix of flatted accommodation.

“The design ethos behind the proposal has been to create a proposal that will blend in with its site situation and character of St Andrews Road, whilst providing an aesthetically pleasing flatted property suitable to provide appealing accommodation with a varied mix of bedroom status.”

Croydon Council’s Planning Committee are expected to make a decision later this year.
