Method of assessment:

 Each view, panorama and landmark has had a site visit, and photographs taken as part of the assessment against the criteria. The criteria remains unchanged from Paragraphs 6.100, 6.101.and 6.102 and 6.103 in Croydon Local Plan: Detailed Polices (Preferred and Alternative Options) October 2013 (CLP2) which was consulted on and is used to assess all the views, panoramas and prior to inclusion of those meeting all the criteria in the Croydon Local Plan: Strategic Policies - Partial Review (Preferred Options)(CLP1.1). The criteria were not challenged in the consultation on CLP2 in 2013 and were published in the supporting evidence for the CLP1.1 Preferred Options consultation 6 November -18 December 2015 and are listed below as follows and in CLP1.1 – Proposed Submission in Appendix 1 – the Glossary, publication 5 September – 17 October 2016.

The criteria for Local Designated Views

 The viewpoint must be in a publicly accessible location in a major public area; or  The viewpoint must be located in an area or on routes identified in Figure 5.1 of the Croydon Local Plan: Strategic Policies for public realm improvements.  The subject matter must contribute positively to the local character  Key landmarks ( Local Designated Landmarks) are seen or it is a unique view; and  It must be substantially of a part of the borough

 It is a prominent building /structure;  It is easily recognisable close up;  It is easily recognisable from a distance and in a Local Designated View: and  It positively contributes to the built environment of Croydon, and local distinctiveness and may provide an orientation point/way finding

Proposed Submission CLP1.1

 Views, panoramas and landmarks that meet the criteria are proposed as Local Designated Views, Croydon Panoramas and Local Designated Landmarks in CLP1.1 Proposed Submission 2016, with the description of what is considered valuable and protectable within the Local Designated Views and Croydon Panoramas in Appendix 5 to CLP1.1 Proposed Submission. Table 2B also provides further information to applicants on development in Panoramas. The locations of all Local Designated Views, Croydon panoramas and Local Designated Landmarks are indicated on the Proposed Submission Policies Map 2016.
