    Spatial Planning Development & Environment Bernard Weatherill House 8 Mint Walk Croydon CR0 1EA Please ask for/reply to Therese Finn Tel: 02084071385 [email protected] 21 January 2015 If you are a tenant of this property please ensure that the owner, your landlord or letting agent sees this letter or forward a copy of this letter to them. Alterations to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (as amended) through the serving of an Article 4 Direction to the Chatsworth Road Conservation Area Dear owner or occupier, I am writing to inform you of proposed local changes to the planning regulations which will affect your permitted development rights. Permitted development rights derive from a general planning permission granted from Central Government and allow homeowners to make certain changes to their properties without the need to apply for planning permission from the local planning authority. Local planning authorities have powers under Article 4 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995, as amended; to remove certain permitted development rights. An Article 4 Direction does not prevent the development to which it applies, but instead requires that planning permission is first obtained from the local planning authority for that development. The need to serve an Article 4 Direction to the Chatsworth Road Conservation Area was established through the production of the Chatsworth Road Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan Supplementary Planning Document that was adopted in April 2013. This document identified threats to the conservation area’s special character as a result of minor development, some of which can be carried out under permitted development rights.

  • Corporate Waste Recycling Improvement in the Croydon Council
    Corporate Waste Recycling Improvement in the Croydon Council Alex Bell Julia MacLeod Dan Murray J. Nicholas Papa May 1, 2015 Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Dominic Golding and Professor Patricia Stapleton IQP Corporate Waste Recycling Improvement In the Croydon Council An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science By Alex Bell Julia MacLeod Dan Murray J. Nicholas Papa Date: May 1 2015 Report Submitted to: Malcolm Bell Croydon Council Bob Fiddik Croydon Council Professors Dominic Golding and Patricia Stapleton Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the project programs at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project-learning.html Abstract The goal of this project was to evaluate the status of current recycling practices within the Croydon Council offices and provide recommendations for improved strategies. We assessed the perspectives and practices of Council employees through a staff survey, in-person interviews, and onsite observations. We assessed recycling in other boroughs to identify best practices. Based on our findings, we recommended the Council explore ways to enhance existing communication about recycling, improve labeling in recycling areas, and reinvigorate its recycling champion network. We also recommend the Council examine further the use of compactors and color-coded bags for different waste streams. i Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank a few key individuals for their help and support for the duration of our project.

  • Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020
    Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020 LATEST NEWS Croydon Council Covid-19 Response Over the past four months we have been through unprecedented times and I am proud of how Croydon Council staff, elected members, Croydon NHS, the Voluntary Sector and all our other partners have responded to the Pandemic. Together we have ensured that Croydon’s most vulnerable residents, businesses and communities have been supported through these difficult times. However it remains important that we remember all those that have lost their lives due to the pandemic and our thoughts remain with families who have lost loved ones. Croydon has faced significant pressure, both in terms of the new demands placed on our services and financial pressures. The Council’s Cabinet has been meeting informally on a daily basis throughout the pandemic and Cabinet Members continue to work closely with officers to inform the Council’s recovery plan for the future. The LSP has met on a weekly basis, using technology to support virtual meetings. These meetings have provided an excellent opportunity for all partners to receive the latest updates, ask questions and coordinate actions. Like other local authorities across the country Croydon has spent millions on supporting our community through Covid-19 – from swiftly setting up hubs to deliver food and essential supplies to thousands, to providing welfare support to many, many more. AMBITIOUS FOR CROYDON Leader of the Council Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Tony Newman July 2020 Yet despite assurances from the Government at the start of this pandemic, that we would be fairly funded for this work, to date councils have only received a fraction of what they have spent.

We were established through the Theatres Trust Act 1976 'to promote the better protection of theatres' and provide statutory planning advice on theatre buildings and theatre use in England through The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015, requiring the Trust to be consulted by local authorities on planning applications which include 'development involving any land on which there is a theatre'. Comment: Please note the Trust was not directly consulted of this application despite it falling within our remit as outlined above. We have had extensive engagement with the Council regarding Fairfield Halls, including an Advisory Review which was carried out in June 2016 and set out various recommendations to help ensure the venue’s viability into the future. We have also formally commented on previous iterations of the development. We have previously expressed some concern regarding the ‘get-in’/servicing arrangements and layout and we consider this revised proposal to represent an improvement. We also welcome that the existing crescent-shaped artist’s entrance and sub-station has been retained.

  • Norbury History Chronology
    WHAT HAPPENED IN NORBURY? An Introductory Chronology Pollards Hill Recreation Ground Fountain & former Age Concern UK office Norbury Library Norbury Park Norbury Brook Sean Creighton History & Social Action Publications 2017 1 Introduction Norbury is a district in North Croydon with borders with the Streatham district of the London Boroughs of Lambeth and with parts of Merton. The name ‘Norbury’ is an abbreviation of ‘Northborough’. ‘Borough’ originally meant a certain manor or district. What became Croydon contained several boroughs. Reference to these was dropped when Croydon was incorporated as a County Borough in 1888. This chronology has been compiled to help stimulate interest in Norbury’s history. The first modern history of the area A History of Norbury by David Clark was published by the Streatham Society in 2013. It has been through several reprints but is now out of print. It can be read at Norbury Library. David occasionally gives talks about Norbury’s history and leads walks in the area. I am a historian whose interests include Croydon and Norbury, where I live. History & Social Action Publications is my publishing imprint. I am an individual member of the Croydon Local Studies Forum, and co-ordinator of the Croydon Radical History Network. I hope that this introduction will inspire readers to research aspects of interest to them. One of the easiest ways is to look at the local newspapers from the 1860s at Croydon Museum’s Local Studies Research Room at the Clocktower at Croydon Town Hall complex in Katharine St. Sean Creighton February 2017 [email protected] Prehistoric Period 1459.
