Purpose

The Planning (Listed Buildings
and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (“The Act”) directs
that a Local Planning Authority should, from time to time, review
those parts of their area designated as conservation areas, and
designate any parts or further parts which are of special
architectural or historic interest (section 69).
 
The Croydon Local Plan 2018 and
Local Plan Partial Review sets the
growth and development vision and planning policies for the
borough. The plans provide the planning policy basis for the
borough to plan for and deliver sustainable growth, whilst
preserving and enhancing the borough’s historic environment.
The report will set out a number of new
areas to potentially be designated as conservation
areas. 
 
A list of these potential areas
will be included in the report, along with high level timescales
and designation process.  These
potential designations will supplement the borough’s existing
Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans
(CAAMPs).
