Section 3 lays out Croydon’s overarching long term spatial vision, accompanying strategic objectives, the overarching Places of Croydon policy and the Key Diagram. Sections 4 to 10 set out the thematic strategies that will ensure delivery of the strategic objectives and realisation of the spatial vision. These sections start with a Strategic Policy and are then followed by a set of more Detailed Policies that provide further details as to how the thematic strategies will be delivered. A guide to the Strategic Policies and the Detailed Policies and how to use and interpret them can be found below. See below for more information on how to use and interpret these sections. Section 11 shows what Strategic Policies and Detailed Policies will mean for the 16 Places of Croydon, setting out the Places vision, summarising the opportunities and constraints and the changes that can be expected to take place up to 2036. This section also sets out Place Specific Policies and Detailed Proposals (sites that the Croydon Local Plan allocates for development) for each Place. A guide to the Place-Specific Policies and the Detailed Proposals and how to use and interpret them can be found below. Finally Section 12 explains how the policies proposed will be delivered. This is closely linked to the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, which in comprehensive detail outlines how infrastructure required to support the Strategic Policies will be delivered.

  • Croydon Borouigh of Culture 2023 Discussion Paper
    CROYDON BOROUGH OF CULTURE 2023 Discussion paper following up Croydon Culture Network meeting 25 February 2020 Contents: Parts 1 Introduction 2 Croydon Council and Culture 3 The Importance of Croydon’s Cultural Activists 4 Culture and Class 5 Croydon’s Economic and Social Realities and Community 6 The Focus on Neighbourhoods 7 Audiences and Participants for 2023 8 The Relevance of Local History 9 Croydon’s Musical Heritage 10 Croydon Writers and Artists 11 Environment and Green History 12 The Use of Different Forms of Cultural Output 13 Engaging Schools 14 The Problem of Communication and the role of venues 15 System Change and Other Issues Appendices 1 An approach to activity about the environment and nature 2 Books relevant to Croydon 3 Footnotes Part 1. Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.

  • Croydon London Borough
    Croydon London Borough Personal Details: Name: Richard Chatterjee E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: To the Local Government Boundary Commission As a resident since 1992 within the Addiscombe and Shirley Park Residents' Association (ASPRA) area, and who has represented the current Shirley Ward as a councillor since 2002, I hope that the following comments will be useful generally but especially in relation to Addiscombe and Shirley. The 16 'places' of Croydon were arrived at to meet the needs of the communities of Croydon and, just like the histories of Addiscombe referred to below, are objective and not generated for electoral ends; they deserve to be given greater weight than the council's proposals because of that objectivity and even- handedness. Identities If you ask people here where they live, they will give their geographical location, such as Addiscombe, Shirley, Purley, Woodside, South Norwood, Upper Norwood, Sanderstead, West Croydon, and Norbury. Some of those areas are large, such as Addiscombe (which naturally runs eastwards from the line out of E Croydon railway station and is centred on the Lower Addiscombe Road); beyond that, including the Longheath estate, people usually describe themselves as being in Shirley, and contact the Shirley councillors even though they are technically in the artificially construct of 'Ashburton Ward'. Geographic Shirley is greater than the current Shirley Ward, as it really comprises the stretch southwards from the Longheath estate, and to the Shirley Hills (which are also known as the Addington Hills, according to which map is being used). The reasons for these identities is the natural boundaries such as railway lines, the roads that glue the communities together (eg the Lower Addiscombe Road shopping centre has shops on one side and houses on the other that have permanent free parking outside; have bus routes that people from both sides of the road come together to use, and the Addiscombe Tram Stop; and socially cohesive pubs such as The Alma and The Claret).

  • 16 Archaeological Priority Areas in Croydon Logical Priority Areas In
    ArchaeoArchaeologicallogical Priority Areas in Croydon A total of 30 Archaeological Priority Areas are recommended for Croydon of which eight are Tier 1 APAs, 21 are Tier 2 APAs and one is a Tier 3 APA. The revised APAs would cover approximately 37% of the borough, increasing from 24% previously. A number of former Archaeological Priority Areas are not included in the new list of APAs. This is because following appraisal it was decided that they did not fulfil the selection criteria and have therefore been omitted from the revised list.
