The Statement reports on the 2019/20 financial year and includes the following: A statement (“the infrastructure list”) of the infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which the charging authority intends will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded by CIL (other than projects or infrastructure funded by the Local Meaningful Proportion); A report, in relation to the previous financial year (2019/20) that sets out how much CIL was unspent from previous financial years, raised in 2019/20, or spent/allocated in 2019/20; A report about planning obligations secured under s106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) that sets out how much was raised in financial terms through planning obligations in 2019/20, what infrastructure planning obligations funded during 2019/20, and how much money remains available to support further infrastructure in future years; and Details of affordable housing and school places secured through planning obligations under s106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) during 2019/20.

  • Cllr Godfrey
    Culture, Leisure and Sport Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Timothy Godfrey January 2018 Latest News Live Well Croydon The Live Well Croydon Programme is making great headway in supporting Croydon residents towards improving healthy lifestyles, whether it’s signposting people to local opportunities to increase physical activity, provide motivation for those who wish to give up smoking or lose weight or improve mental health and wellbeing; our team of Live Well Advisors have so far provided initial consultations to just over 260 residents. The initial consultation is the first stage of the 12 month behaviour change journey and we are now seeing a number of residents moving onto the next 3 month review stage. As can be seen below, residents are achieving some very positive results from engaging in Live Well Croydon as they work towards their longer term health goals: Mr B – now a non-smoker at 3 months, has increased physical activity levels and improvement in mental wellbeing score. Miss J - 7kg weight loss at 3 month review, reduction in high fat foods and fried foods within her diet; improved mental health and wellbeing. Mr N - reduced calorie intake by 800 calories a day by making small swaps and increased his exercise from under 30 minutes a day to nearly 90 minutes. More information about the Live Well Croydon Programme and healthy lifestyle information, advice and support can be found via: https://www.justbecroydon.org/ Get Active Wandle Get Active Wandle moves into year 3 in January and is continuing to deliver positive outcomes for Croydon.

  • THE FUTURE of NORBURY PARK Preliminary Assessment
    THE FUTURE OF NORBURY PARK Preliminary assessment Area of proposed BMX track shown at community event 20 February 2016 Extract from Norbury Parks to be Proud of Proposals (Croydon Council May 2011) Sean Creighton Member Love Norbury Residents Associations Joint Planning Committee 21 February 2016 [email protected] 1 Contents Page: 3. Introduction 4. Recommendations 5. Some History of the Park 11. The Park Today 15. Visions for the Park 17. The Council’s Local Plan 19. The BMX Track Proposal 23. The Planning Justification 27. Some Questions Arising 31. Objections to the BMX Track 33. The Pavilion and the Boxing Club 37 The Problem of Consultation 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This assessment of Norbury Park has been written as a result of a growing debate among residents about its future, particularly as a result of the Council’s proposal to install a BMX track, and agreeing to lease the long closed pavilion to the Croydon Amateur Boxing Club. 1.2 These two developments have helped to mobilise residents who have been concerned about the state of the Park to begin to develop their vision for it and come up with a list of ideas for improvements. This in turn has galvanised the Norbury Residents Associations into taking a more proactive role on the Park, especially the newly formed Norbury Avenue & Thornton Heath Residents Association (NATHRA), which is initiating a Friends sub-group, with the support of the other four associations. 1.3 Residents living round the Park are concerned that the BMX track proposal in particular is not appropriate and will not contribute to the creation of a multi-activity park attracting a diverse range of users.

  • Local List of Historic Parks and Gardens December 2008
    Local List of Historic Parks and Gardens December 2008 SELSDON PARK HOTEL (SELSDON WARD) ( includes Selsdon Park Golf Club) Addington Road/Old Farleigh Road, Selsdon, CR2 8YA Local Authority Designations Metropolitan Green Belt Archaeological Priority Zone Building -Locally Listed Reason for inclusion on the List: a significant proportion of the layout survives to reflect the original nineteenth century design Description Selsdon was within the parish of Croydon from medieval times, its old boundaries little altered even now, and was part of land owned by the Archbishops of Canterbury. From at least the sixteenth century Selsdon was largely divided between two farms, Selsdon Farm in the north, now the site of Selsdon Park Hotel, and Allards Farm in the south. Henry Ownstead, whose brother John owned Sanderstead Manor, held Selsdon Farm in 1584, and it remained in his family until 1660. It was next tenanted by Henry Bowyer whose successors held the farm into the eighteenth century. It seems likely that Selsdon Farm was gentrified into Selsdon Park by William Coles who purchased it 1809. However, Coles was bankrupt soon after this and George Smith, banker and a director of the East India Company, purchased the property1810. Smith completed the transformation of the house into a mansion by 1815 and made many changes to the estate, building a home farm complex, two lodges, a new farm and various cottages. He also landscaped the park and re-routed the Farleigh road to the east. The estate at that time included Selsdon Woods and it remained in the Smith family until 1890 when Mabel Greville, George Smith's great-granddaughter, finally sold the estate.

Description Addiscombe Recreation Ground is a small recreation ground dating from 1911 largely laid to grass and completely surrounded by houses. The land was acquired in 1905 by Croydon Board of Health under the 1875 Public Health Act and was previously farmland, like much of Croydon, until development for housing changed the landscape dramatically from the early twentieth century. The site is shown on Thomas Bainbridge's Map of Croydon of 1800 as two fields belonging to A Adair Esq. It was at one time part of the Ashburton Estate, the country home of the Barings, who were heirs of the Barony of Ashburton. The estate mansion had been situated at the corner of Addiscombe Road and Northampton Road, and the estate farmhouse was also on Addiscombe Road with a farmtrack alongside it known as Love Lane.

  • Great North Wood South London’S Forgotten Landscape
    Great North Wood South London’s forgotten landscape The Great North Wood is one of London’s most valuable Living Landscapes. Once covered in woodland and wooded commons, the area is now made-up of over 20 woodland fragments which are supported by a mosaic of parks and other green spaces, linked by gardens and street trees. The Great North Wood remains a hugely important resource that supports over 200 species of trees and flowering plants including wild garlic, early dog violet and bugle. It’s also home to a multitude of fungi, rare insects, birds and small mammals. The Great North Wood has a critical role for access to nature, London’s resilience to climate change, and for our wellbeing. KEY SITES INCLUDE Great North Wood is an exciting • Biggin Wood • Crystal Palace Park and Hillcrest Estate Wood new project that will engage • Dulwich & Sydenham Hill Wood • Grangewood Park local people to help protect and • Horniman Gardens • Long Lane Wood enhance an invaluable • New Cross Gate to Forest Hill railway linesides • Nunhead Cemetery landscape. • Norwood Park • One Tree Hill • South Norwood Country Park • Streatham Common • Spa wood The project will begin with an initial nine month development stage which will see London Wildlife Trust working with volunteers, community groups and local councils to raise awareness of the woodlands, find out people’s views about how to improve the woodlands for both wildlife and people and how to enhance the ecological value of the surviving parts of the Great North Wood and places in between. If the first stage is successful, the Trust will seek funding of around £700,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to secure significant improvements to the Wood, with the aim of providing substantial benefits to London’s woodland environment and the people that live near to it.
