Croydon Local Plan Partial Review 

The partial review of Croydon’s Local Plan commenced in 2019. 

The first stage of the review also known as ‘Regulation 18’ sought feedback from the community with a period of consultation referred to as the Issues and Options consultation. This took place between November 2019 to January 2020.

A second stage of the review known as ‘Regulation 19’ was undertaken between January and February 2022.

Download a summary of the representations received in response to the Regulation 18 consultation.

The council received over 800 responses which have been reviewed and considered in the latest version of the ‘Regulation 19’ revised Plan. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared feedback to date. 

Further changes were needed to be made to the revised Local Plan following the appointment in May 2022 of the Executive Mayor, Jason Perry and the subsequent approval of his Business Plan (2022-2026). The updated version now takes account of the Mayor’s Business Plan and addresses concerns raised as part of the previous ‘Regulation 19’ publication process
