Providing a vision of how Croydon will look in the future.
The Local Plan is the most important planning policy for the borough, providing a vision of how Croydon will look in 2040. It will act as a framework for the planning and management of development in the borough over that period. The plan will serve as the foundation for a range of other planning documents that will form the Local Development Framework for Croydon.
The Local Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination in Public on 29 November 2024.
Following this, in accordance with Section 20 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Secretary of State will appoint a Planning Inspector to conduct the Public Examination in order to determine whether the Local Plan is viable. The inspector examines the representations and the Local Plan against a number of legal requirements. The inspector will then prepare a report following the examination hearings that will include a series of recommendations.
The Local Plan Examination in Public is likely to take place in early 2025. This page will be updated as the examination progresses.
