INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY PLAN: INTRODUCTION 

Introduction 

The Croydon Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) commenced in October 2009. 

Subsequently, it has been updated as a live document on several occasions to 

support the Croydon Local Plan: Strategic Policies and the Corporation Capital 

Programme development. More recently, the IDP has been integral to informing 

the role and functions of the Infrastructure Finance Group (IFG). 

It was originally produced in response to PPS12 which advised the IDP to identify 

the infrastructure needs and costs, phasing and funding sources and 

responsibilities for delivery of the infrastructure necessary to support the 

development growth outlined in the Local Plan. The National Planning Policy 

Framework (NPPF) replaced PPS12 in March 2012 - and continues to emphasise 

that planning should be a creative exercise “proactively driving and supporting 

sustainable economic development”. It foresees the need to remove potential 

barriers to development, including the lack of infrastructure. Paragraph 162 of the 

NPFF states that Local Planning Authorities should work with other authorities and 

providers to assess the quality and capacity of infrastructure for transport, water 

supply, wastewater and its treatment, energy, telecommunications, utilities, waste, 

health, social care, education, flood risk and coastal change management, and its 

ability to meet forecast demands. Local Planning Authorities should also take 

account of the need for strategic infrastructure, including nationally significant 

infrastructure, within their areas. 

This iteration of the IDP is in the form of a partial update to the March 2012 IDP. 

regarding Croydon’s infrastructure status, needs, costs and phasing and as an aid to 

coordinating infrastructure delivery. The mention of a project in the Infrastructure 

Delivery Plan is seen as a pre-requisite to prioritisation of infrastructure projects by 

the Council and third parties. 

Finally, it will inform the role and functions of the Infrastructure Finance Group in 

prioritising and determining bids for Section 106 monies and Community 

Infrastructure Levy (CIL) income. 

Purpose 

This document does not represent a full update of the IDP. Its purpose is to provide 

an update to the ‘Infrastructure Delivery Schedule’ set out in the March 2012 IDP. 

As such it provides on-going support to the Croydon Local Plan - both the Strategic 

Policies and the Detailed Policies and Proposals Development Plan Documents 

(DPD), providing the evidence on social, physical and green infrastructure required 

to support the delivery of the Plan. An up to date, robust and credible IDP is a vital 

supporting document to ensure DPD soundness. 

It also assists the Council in maintaining as up to date information as possible

ENTERPRISING CITY PROGRAMME

ENTERPRISING CITY PROGRAMME: DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK 

What? 

Wi-Fi / Broadband enhancement 

Where? 

The initial focus will be on Croydon Opportunity Area, with improvements sought 

across the whole borough. 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

A modern, reliable, high quality digital infrastructure would dramatically enhance 

Croydon’s reputation and capability as a location for business, and improve its 

competitive advantage. Policy SP8.5 from the Croydon Local Plan: Strategic Policies 

outlines the Council’s support to improving the borough’s Wi-Fi, fibre optic 

broadband and mobile broadband. The provision also accords with the Council’s 

Economic Strategy Refresh. 

Stakeholder Engagement Since March 2012: 

Members of Croydon’s Economic Development team have met with representatives 

of the Croydon Tech City network to discuss key issues surrounding digital 

connectivity faced by SMEs in Croydon, and potential solutions to enhance the 

infrastructure and take up. 

Progress Since March 2012: 

Members of Croydon’s Economic Development team have met with relevant 

officers from the GLA to discuss digital connectivity for the Town and District 

centres and other business locations across the borough. A Digital Strategy is being 

developed, and as a result, Croydon will be one of the 6 ‘phase 1’ projects across 

London to offer broadband connectivity vouchers of up to £3,000 to local 

businesses (this will run from November 2013 to March 2014). The Council has 

recently commissioned a piece of work to determine digital infrastructure coverage 

within the Opportunity Area Planning Framework area. 

Risks: 

The scope of this piece of infrastructure is not quantified so there is a risk 

that stakeholder expectations may differ. 

May not be delivered by 2015. 

Mitigation: 

 

 

Delivery partners and stakeholders need to quantify what represents ‘Wi-Fi’/ 

Broadband Enhancement. 

Work collaboratively with GLA and BDUK to ensure Croydon benefits most 

before March 2015.

ENTERPRISING CITY PROGRAMME: ENTERPRISE CENTRES FOR CREATIVE AND CULTURAL INDUSTRIES 

What? 

Delivery of Creative and Cultural Industries Enterprise Centres at 4 locations across 

Croydon with the one in Croydon Metropolitan Centre (CMC) to act as a flagship. 

Where? 

CMC, Crystal Palace, Portland Road/South Norwood District Centre and Purley. 

When? 

By 2015 for CMC and by 2021 for the other 3 centres. 

Why? 

The vision from Croydon’s Sustainable Community Strategy states ‘We will be 

London’s most enterprising borough – a city that fosters ideas, innovation and 

learning and provides skills, opportunity and a sense of belonging for all’. A network 

of Enterprise Centres focusing on cultural and creative industries and innovation will 

be pursued across the borough as part of realising this vision. 


The Council’s Plan Making team has had discussions with a number of potential 

providers in addition to the delivery partners and stakeholders already identified. 

expand its offer in ways that make it the natural centre for this area. The Council is 

working closely with the Stanley People’s Initiative to explore the scope for Stanley 

Halls to act as the centre for the South Norwood area and continues to work with 

the land owners in Purley to identify a suitable site for this part of the borough. 

Risks: 

 

If the full complement of centres is not established by 2021, the increased 

diversity of the local economy and associated benefits will not be realised. 

Mitigation: 

 

The Council’s Plan Making Team will continue to work with a number of 

potential providers for CMC and Purley where a specific site has not yet been 

identified. 


Following detailed consideration of numerous potential centres for CMC, three 

options are being progressed further. Antenna Studios in Crystal Palace continues to 

Matthew’s Yard has emerged as a valued asset for CMC. The idea of using the empty commercial 

space in neighbouring Exchange Square to support their activities is one option being considered.

ENTERPRISING CITY PROGRAMME: MAKING BETTER USE OF VACANT COMMERCIAL SPACE 

What? 

Working to bring vacant commercial and retail premises into productive use 

through: 

Creative and Cultural Industries 

Urban greening projects 

Urban agriculture 

Community groups 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

Across Croydon, but particularly within Croydon Metropolitan Centre, there are 

substantial amounts of underused sites/buildings. This usually corresponds with 

sites that are pending development. The Council considers such sites lying dormant 

a potential opportunity. Organisations within this sector such as ACAVA (Association 

for Cultural Advancement through Visual Art) and ACME (providing artists with 

affordable studio and living space) are experts at making temporary use of such 

space. 


Members of Croydon’s Economic Development Team have met with a number of 

stakeholders including Develop Croydon and London and Partners to explore the 

possibility of delivering a number of innovative ideas, such as business touch down 

space in the CMC. Another concept is to explore a meanwhile use for a theatre 

company that has expressed an interest. 


The touch down space is being developed. Information of potential locations have 

been provided and the company has been invited to do a site visit. A pop-up shop 

has been established in Old Town with a second in planning. 

Risks: 

 

 

 

Not being able to secure suitable premises for the touchdown space. 

Not being able to secure delivery partner to manage it. 

Not enough interest in 

meanwhile use. 

Mitigation: 

 

 

 

Increase scope of search across 

CMC. 

Early engagement with potential 

delivery partners. 

Publicise meanwhile use across 

London.

LEARNING CITY PROGRAMME: PRIMARY SCHOOLS BUILDING PROGRAMME 

What? 

Primary Schools Building Programme 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

Local Authorities are advised to maintain approximately 5% surplus places to 

accommodate in-year movement of families in and out of the borough. There is 

currently a shortfall of 25 forms of entry (FE) in primary schools between 2013 and 

2018 on a medium growth scenario and a shortfall of 35FE on a high growth 

scenario. The demand for primary school places will remain at its most intense in 

the north west and the centre of the borough. From 2015 onwards, the pattern of 

demand will shift in line with housing and regeneration projects within the strategic 

plan. Demand will become more intense in Coulsdon and the centre of Croydon. A 

major housing development is to take place in the West Coulsdon ward at Cane Hill, 

with the new total demand for school places between 2015-16 and 2017-18 

education years being estimated at 151 places in the primary phase. 


The January 2013 Cabinet report agreed for a series of consultations on school 

expansions and new schools to take place, as well as a call for providers to express 

an interest in running the new schools. 

Howard Primary — one of the borough’s schools set for expansion 


Planning pre-applications have been submitted for the new schools at the 

Westways Centre, Aberdeen Road, West Thornton Primary Academy and Kingsley 

Primary. A feasibility study has been completed for Ryelands Primary School and a 

feasibility study has been instructed from the architect for St Joseph’s Catholic 

Infants School.

LEARNING CITY PROGRAMME: SECONDARY SCHOOLS BUILDING PROGRAMME 

What? 

Development of secondary school at Croydon Arena 

Where? 

South Norwood and Woodside 

When? 

August 2015 

Why? 

Demand for places are projected to increase, and projections indicate that demand 

for a further 10FE will be needed from 2015. This growth is concentrated in the 

north and central parts of the borough.. A major housing development is to take 

place in the West Coulsdon ward at Cane Hill, with the new total demand for school 

places between 2015-16 and 2017-18 education years being estimated at 72 in the 

secondary phase. 


The consultation period took place between 6th February to 28th March 2013, with 

an additional public meeting also taking place. In addition to these public meetings, 

officers met with key sports provider to understand their requirements from the 

project and gain their input. 


Feasibility study due to be complete in October 2013. 

Risks: 

 

 

 

This project is dependant on the relocation of Ryelands primary school as the 

utilisation of the existing Ryelands building would allow education provision 

to continue as planned. 

There is also issues regarding opposition of the respondents of the public 

consultation, as concerns were raised over the perceived impact on residents, 

traffic congestion and people movement. 

Issues were also raised regarding the encroachment onto the Metropolitan 

Open Land. 

Mitigation: 

 

Croydon Council is commissioning a full traffic impact study to identify how 

best to minimise the impact of any increased traffic movements.

LEARNING CITY PROGRAMME: SPECIAL SCHOOLS BUILDING PROGRAMME 

What? 

Provision of a new school and expansion of resource bases. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

children and young people with mental health needs, attention deficit hyperactivity 

disorder or challenging behaviour with disabilities. Croydon requires a new flexible 

approach by our specialist provision in meeting a broad range of need around SEN; 

this means flexibility around numbers to be admitted to any particular provision, 

better joint multi-agency working in finding solutions to the provision of education 

and care and more responsive services to meeting needs. 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

The incidence of children and young people with special educational needs is on the 

increase both locally and nationally. Croydon’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 

identifies the need to increase capacity to support children and young people with, 

Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties 

(BESD), Complex Needs, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), Speech, 

Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD). 

There is also the challenge of meeting the needs of an increasing incidence of 


Consultation will take place on establishing a resource base at Courtwood Primary 

School. 


An architect has been instructed to help SEN and inclusion team to develop a 

scheme for a new school. At Cabinet in June 2013, delegation was given to the 

Lead Member to proceed with the consultation on establishing a resource base for 

pupils with Asperger's syndrome at Courtwood Primary School for September 2014.

LEARNING CITY PROGRAMME: UNIVERSITY CENTRE CROYDON 

What? 

A partnership approach will be adopted to forge links with the Higher Education 

sector with a view to attracting a university presence in the Borough. This will be 

progressed by Croydon College in partnership with the Council. 

Where? 

Croydon Opportunity Area 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

As a key part of the vision for the COA area, and as an asset for South London, a 

new university presence is required. It would help innovation, stimulate the 

economy and give opportunity to raise skills levels to degree level over a wider 

range of disciplines and raise the profile of Croydon. 


As well as the opening of the University 

Centre Croydon, discussion is now on- going 

to develop higher (Masters) provision in the 

University Centre. The Council is working 

with Sussex University and the GLA to open 

an Innovation Centre in Croydon. 


As agreed with the Council in 2011, the aim was rescoped to build upon an existing 

strong partnership with Sussex University and gain approval to use the title 

University Centre. University Centre Croydon was formally opened in April 2012 by 

the Mayor of London.

CREATIVE CITY PROGRAMME: FAIRFIELD HALLS 

What? 

Renewed and modernised Fairfield Halls complex to bring real quality and lasting 

benefits to the borough over the next 50 years. 

Where? 


When? 

By early 2018 

Why? 

The Fairfield Halls have been Croydon’s principal cultural venue and community 

meeting place for almost 50 years. It hosts a range of local, regional and national 

events; concerts, plays, ballet, opera and pantomimes. The building is locally listed 

and a good example of post war civic architecture in the mould of the Royal Festival 

Hall. However parts of the building are in need of investment and nearing the end of 

their useful life. The inflexibility of the spaces makes the venue increasingly difficult 

for it to remain economically viable. 


On-going engagement with Fairfield Halls in relation to the delivery of the project 

and the nature of the business following completion of the project. There has been 

further engagement with the business and local businesses and suppliers in the 

development of an Economic Impact Assessment in 2013. 


The Client Requirements for the project have been agreed, along with Cabinet 

endorsement for the enhanced scheme. There has been New Audio equipment in 

the Concert Hall and upgrades in Aschroft theatre and Amhem Gallery. Business 

critical items have been addressed. 

Risks: 

 

 

 

Funding will be withdrawn– the project will stall again and Fairfield Halls will 

struggle to operate. 

Project not delivered to specification and client requirements. 

Project goes over budget, impacting the council capital programme and other 

capital schemes. 

Mitigation: 

 

 

Move project forward as approved to create momentum and confidence. 

Clear scope and specification and tight project management. Appointment of 

professional project design team. 

Robust scope and specification and project management/change 

management processes and early appointments.

CREATIVE CITY PROGRAMME: LIBRARIES MODERNISATION PROGRAMME 

What? 

Libraries Modernisation Programme 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

On going 

Why? 

Although the library service has a high level of customer satisfaction and is highly 

valued by its users and the general public, adult usage is in decline. The current 

library infrastructure needs updating in order to meet the needs of a modern service 

and the service offer needs to change and expand to meet changing 

demands. Changes in population driven by the interrelated factors of migration, 

birth rates, housing numbers and housing occupancy will generate their own 

requirements for the future. Additionally, with changes to work patterns such as 

extended working hours, libraries will have to transform the way they deliver their 

service. 

involving the introduction of new technology for the benefit of both staff and 

customers. This will include self-service, Wi-Fi and the very latest innovations in 

online resources and e-books. 

CIS will work closely with local communities to improve the way library services are 

delivered. There will also be new local business opportunities and good prospects 

for employment, volunteering and apprenticeships. 

Risks: 

 

The rationale set out for this project is based upon the evidence from the 

Council’s library service. However, the service is now managed by CIS who 

may identify a different approach and priorities for investment. 

Mitigation: 

 

Continue to regularly monitor the project to ensure consistency between the 

priorities of the library service and the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. 


The Council has considered a number of mechanisms to safeguard the borough’s 

libraries in challenging economic times. 


The future of the borough's libraries is assured with the signing of an eight-year 

contract by Croydon Council and John Laing Integrated Services (JLIS), now Carillion 

Integrated Services (CIS). The new arrangements started on 1 October 2013, when 

CIS took over the running of the service. It represents good value for taxpayers as it 

will save the authority significant amounts of money, and at the same time ensure 

all of the council's 13 libraries remain open and face no reductions in opening hours. 

The contract will see the service undergo a major modernisation programme,

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: EAST CROYDON STATION 

What? 

Provision of 2 nd access bridge, additional platforms and other improvements. 

Where? 

East Croydon Station 

When? 

By 2020 

2013. Station concourse works have been completed with new accessible ticket 

windows in the booking office and a new gateline behind Costa Coffee. 

Risks: 

 

Two new platforms are being looked at for delivery in the early 2020s but 

would require extensive remodelling of current Platforms 1&2– this is subject 

to further funding and development. 

Mitigation: 

 

Early development of Brighton Mainline Capacity Improvement Scheme will 

help to deliver the extra platforms in early Control Period 6 (2019-2024). 

Why? 

A fundamental principle is to make best use of the extensive railway system in the 

borough and to invest in its long term future. Action is required both in the long and 

short terms to increase the capacity of Croydon’s two principal stations: East and 

West Croydon. East Croydon needs to be re-configured to provide a second access 

bridge, enlarge space in the concourse for passenger circulation and subsequently 

to provide at least two more platforms. 


Regular meetings are held with the London Borough of Croydon and Network Rail’s 

Sussex Route and London and South East Strategic Planning teams. 


The new footbridge has been installed and opened for cross-platform interchange. 

A new exit, on the Dingwall Road-side of the station, is due to be opened in late

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: WEST CROYDON STATION 

What? 

Improved interchange - 2nd station entrance 

Where? 

West Croydon Station 

When? 

By 2020 

Why? 

A fundamental principle is to make best use of the extensive railway system in the 

borough and to invest in its long term future. Action is required both in the long 

and short terms to increase the capacity of Croydon’s two principal stations: East 

and West Croydon. At West Croydon the need is to improve interchange between 

rail and all other forms of transport and to improve passenger access whilst 

regenerating the surrounding area and public realm. 


Regular meetings are held with the London Borough of Croydon and Network Rail’s 

Sussex Route and London and South East Strategic Planning teams. 


Second entrance has been opened but further work is required to make the station 

accessible for all. 

Risks: 

 

The station is unable to cope with the increase in passenger numbers as a 

result of improvements to Central Croydon’s retail offer. 

Mitigation: 

 

Network Rail is looking to work with London Overground (the station 

operator), Westfield and Hammerson, and Croydon Council to plan future 

improvements. 

22

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: STATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME 

What? 

Improvement of stations 

Where? 

Selhurst, Sanderstead, Norwood Junction and other stations. 

When? 

By 2020 

Why? 

Many stations in the borough, including Croydon’s principal stations Selhurst, 

Sanderstead and Norwood Junction, need improvements in access including that 

for the disabled, and more secure and better signed way marking. 


No update available for this project.

What? 

 

 

 

12 coach trains on central London - Brighton line 

More frequent services, or more capacity on existing services 

Railtrack junction improvements and by-passes 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

As indicated in the table below 

Why? 

During this period 2011-2016 the capacity of the mainline Central London to 

Brighton railway through East Croydon will be increased by the introduction of the 

first phase of new Thameslink trains. Additional 12 coach trains will be introduced 

and timetabled as from December 2012. These measures will relieve overcrowding 

but will not fully resolve the problem at peak times. Further measures will be 

needed in the longer term. 

In the medium term, the capacity of the rail network needs to be enlarged further 

through more frequent trains including Thameslink. The government announced the 

approval of the full Thameslink programme of investment in November 2010 for 

completion in 2018. This enhancement is also necessary to retain convenient and 

reliable linkage to the City, Docklands and Gatwick.

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: TRAMLINK 

What? 

 

 

 

Infrastructure improvements will be implemented to allow the increased 

service level and increase resilience; this includes an additional platform at 

Wimbledon and twin tracking between Beddington Lane and Mitcham 

Junction. 

4 additional trams have been ordered to arrive in early 2016. This will allow 

the Line 4 service (Elmers End to Therapia Lane) to be extended to 

Wimbledon. 

The tram stop on George Street will be relocated and increased in capacity as 

part of the town centre improvements. 

in June 2012, reducing severe tram overcrowding in the Arena to Sandilands area. 

This was undertaken by introducing six additional trams and a number of 

infrastructure modifications which has resulted in the number of trams using the 

Croydon Loop increasing from 18 trams per hour to 22. 

Risks: 

 

 

Changes within Wimbledon Station need to be approved by Network Rail and 

the Train Operating Companies which could affect cost and programme. 

The significant amount of infrastructure works currently being undertaken 

may result in a lack of industry interest in undertaking these works. 

Where? 

North of the borough 

When? 

Feburary 2015: Additional platform at Wimbledon and additional twin tracking 

handed over into operation. 

Feburary 2016: Extended Line 4 timetable to be introduced. 

Mitigation: 

 

 

Working closely with NR and SWT to agree changes at the Wimbledon station 

and to define ways of working during construction. 

Early contractor engagement, currently out to tender for infrastructure 

package. 

Why? 

Croydon’s tram system, Tramlink, is owned and operated by TfL. It has proved 

highly successful and now reaches capacity at the peak hours over several stretches 

of the existing route; this will further increase capacity over this section by 50%. 


A stakeholder event took place in October 2013 to launch the Wimbledon 

Enhancement scheme. On-going officer level discussions are held regularly to 

discuss specific technical issues. Engagement with South London Partnerships and 

local Resident Groups have taken place to raise awareness of Tramlink, the services 

operated and the upcoming works.

Bridge strengthening on Network Rail bridges 

Providing a programme of anti-flood measures on highways 

Progressing smart traffic management/light coordination 

Minor highways improvements 

Electric Car Infrastructure 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

Future investment in Croydon’s road network will require careful judgement on two 

key issues: 

The apportionment of capital investment between maintaining and 

improving the existing asset and investing very selectively in new road 

capacity to ease bottlenecks. 

The apportionment of new capacity between different modes of transport. 

The enhancements required in Croydon to ease bottlenecks and make the whole 

existing network more efficient in handling flows require improvements at the 

junctions listed in the Transport Strategy. Other investments are required to 

achieve continuous improvement to road safety. Such a programme would in part 

draw upon Croydon’s Local Implementation Plan (LIP). Improvements to the road 

system and associated infrastructure can assist other elements of the Local Plan, 

reducing journey lengths, aiding pedestrian accessibility and fostering use of electric 

cars and other environmentally friendly transport. 


 

 

Traffic Management: members, residents and residents associations. 

Electric car infrastructure: Where electric vehicle charging points have been 

installed as part of a wider scheme, such as Addiscombe Road, they are 

 

 

included in design and planning consultations. 

Bridge strengthening: Stakeholder engagement with members, local resident 

associations and residents, London Bridges Engineering Group (LoBEG), TfL, 

Tramlink and Network Rail. 

Anti-flood measures: Stakeholder engagement with Envrionment Agency, 

London Drainage Engineering Group, Thames Water, Purley Community Flood 

Group and Internal Flood Group. 


 

 

 

 

Risks: 

 

 

 

Traffic Management: Signal controlled pedestrian facilities have been 

introduced at Brighton Road/ Warham Road and at Chipstead Valley Road/ 

Lion Green Road which aim to improve road safety. A number of zebra 

crossings have also been introduced across the borough to provide a safe 

place for pedestrians to cross the road and thus encourage walking as a 

sustainable and healthy travel choice. 

Electric Car Infrastructure: A dozen public electric vehicle charging points 

have been installed, mainly in council surface car parks. Plans are in place for 

a further 10-20 points in public sector staff car parks because of government 

grants and a long term commitment from manufacturers. 

Bridge strengthening: Bridge strengthening of Coombe Road Bridge 

completed. Croham Road refurbishment of three bridges. Goat House Bridge 

(Penge Road) strengthening currently in progress for completion by February 

2014. On-going talks with bridge strengthening for Spring Lane Bridge, 

Spurgeon’s and Windmill Bridges (St. James Road) for 2014-17. New road 

bridge construction in Tennison Road for 2014-2015. 

Anti-flood measures: Cleaned 601 soakaways, 27102 gullies/chamber cleaned 

and 425 defective gullies repaired. 

Electric car infrastructure: Limited purchase of electronic vehicles due to the 

short range and higher price and different types of charging socket requiring 

different electronic vehicle charging points. 

Bridge strengthening: Bridge failure with risk to Tram, Rail and Highway 

networks. 

Anti-flood measures: Failure to the drainage system may result in flooding. 

28

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: ROAD NETWORK 

Mitigation: 

 

 

 

Electric car infrastructure: Government continuing £5000 discount and 

mainstream manufacturers attractive vehicles with options such as leasing 

the battery or memberships of car club for longer journeys. Installing more 

charging points which include two types of sockets to overcome this, as well 

as British Gas and others offering reduced price home charging kits. 

Bridge strengthening: Trief kerbs in areas of bridge weakness with imposition 

of weight restrictions 

Anti-flood measures; Clean gullies and soakaways effectively and implement 

new drainage measures where applicable.

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: STREET LIGHTING 

What? 

A joint project between the London Borough of Croydon and the London Borough 

of Lewisham to replace the ageing street lighting stock. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

2011-2016 with a 25 year maintenance and repair programme. 


The programme began in New Addington in 2011. The work will progress on a 

street –by-street, ward-by-ward basis. 

Year One: New Addington, Fieldway, Shirley and Ashburton 

Year Two: South Norwood, Upper Norwood, Norbury, Thornton Heath, West 

Thornton, Broad Green and Waddon 

Year Three: Bensham Manor, Selhurst, Addiscombe, Woodside and Fairfield 

Why? 

The Croydon and Lewisham Street Lighting PFI includes the replacement of 

approximately 46,000 street light and traffic signs over a five year period, with ongoing 

maintenance and repairs for 25 years. The scope of the project will deliver a 

number of benefits: 

Positive impact on fear of crime and public perception of risk. 

Improved street safety and reduction in road traffic accidents. 

Delivery of significant efficiency savings in capital replacement and 

maintenance terms. 

Allows service management objectives to include sustainability goals for the 

first time. 


Consultation with staff providing the existing street lighting service is on-going. Key 

stakeholders, including neighbourhood forums and crime and safety partnerships, 

will be consulted before and during service delivery.

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: PARKING 

What? 

Car parking improvements and rationalisation 

Where? 


When? 

On-going 

Why? 

In the Croydon Opportunity Area there are approximately 7,150 public off-street 

publicly usable car spaces, including surface, multi-storey and underground car 

parks. These car parks vary widely in quality, accessibility for both cars and 

pedestrians and tariff structure. Improvements need to be made to the major car 

parks and enhancements will include the removal of poor quality surplus places and 

redeployment of some sites to other uses as there are currently 3,000 underused 

spaces. 

2) Or an alternative parking arrangement if there is no significant 

redevelopment. 

Based on these two scenarios, the OAPF sets out four principles to be followed in 

guiding the future design and location of public off street parking in the COA. 


Chapter 8 of the Croydon Opportunity Area Framework (OAPF) sets out the parking 

strategy for the Croydon Opportunity Area. An objective of the OAPF is to not allow 

an increase in the overall number of 7,150 publicly usable off-street COA car parking 

spaces. It also sets out the need to increase the number of good quality and well 

located parking spaces. The OAPF sets out two parking scenarios for the next 20 

years: 

1) what could happen should there be a large scale redevelopment in the central 

area of the COA around the Retail core, Mid Croydon and Fairfield, New Town 

and East Croydon; 

Poor quality, under-used public car park in central Croydon

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: STREET WAYFINDING AND SIGNAGE 

What? 

Consolidation of and improvements to street wayfinding and signage. 

Where? 

Borough-wide. The Legible London programme has been focussed in the Croydon 

Metropolitan Centre and District Centres. 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

Carefully sited signage and wayfinding can play an important role in ensuring 

Croydon’s streets and footways are safe, accessible and legible. The objectives of 

the Legible London system is to address the lack of clear, consistent and 

coordinated on-street information in Central Croydon. It also helps visitors, 

residents and workers find their way to our key destinations. 


No public consultation events have taken place. However, the Croydon Public 

Realm Design Guide was consulted on internally and was approved by Cabinet. 


Croydon Public Realm Design Guide was approved by Cabinet on 23rd April 2012 

and provides general guidelines on signs and wayfinding and details on street name 

plates, traffic signs, Legible London signs, advertising, welcome signs and 

information boards. 

Risks: 

Doubling up of signage and the creation of street clutter. 

Mitigation: 

 

An inventory is to take place of current signage to determine what can be 

consolidated, removed and replaced.

When? 

By 2020 

Why? 

To improve the road network and public realm in Purley town centre. The Council 

has identified improvements being required at Purley Gyratory part of the 

Transport for London Road Network (TLRN). 


There has been no commitment from either the Council or TfL to invest in the 

improvements at the gyratory at this stage and no work has been undertaken. TfL is 

reviewing its highway portfolio as part of the Roads Task Force and will look at 

Purley Gyratory as part of an A23 corridor study but does not currently have a 

scheme of works or any funding allocated. Public Realm works in Purley High Street 

were substantially completed in February 2012. 

Risks: 

No commitment from either the Council or TfL. 

Mitigation: 

 

TfL would support use of Borough CIL and will seek s106 contributions, as 

well as encouraging the council to seek LIP funding.

every 30 minutes to every 20 minutes in October 2009. 

December 2009: Extension of route 463 to serve Coulsdon South station 

August 2013: Introduction of a Sunday service on route 434 

TfL has agreed to fund a £3m improvement to West Croydon bus station and 

improvements are also expected at East Croydon. 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

Bus travel accounts for a large proportion of the journeys to work in Croydon and 

many school and shopping trips. With limited scope to increase the capacity of the 

road network, the efficiency, convenience and punctuality of public transport needs 

to improve. The bus system is critical to this endeavour, especially for sub-regional 

and local transport. 


Improvements will continue to be made across the borough through the 

consultation process. Where appropriate, TfL will seek s106 funding to meet 

demand, particularly in the COA. 


There have been significant improvements in Excess Waiting Time and On Time 

(punctuality) improvements over the last 10 years. Since 2012, there have been 

frequency enhancements and structural changes day and night to improve a more 

efficient and convenient service. 

August 2012: Introduction of N64 and and N109, which brought previously 

unserved areas of Croydon onto the night bus network (Selsdon) and 

increased night frequency to other areas (Thornton Heath-Croydon).

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE 

What? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refurbishment of London cycling network 

Cycling provision at major stations 

Completion of Connect 2 and Greenway routes 

Cycling measures at key junctions 

Other cycle links 

Quietways 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

On-going. 

Why? 

The Council sees the encouragement and promotion of cycling in the Borough as 

part of the thrust toward smarter travel. Generally it is an environmentally sound 

means of transport and one that assists the promotion of good health. As part of 

the Transport Strategy, a capital programme of infrastructure for cycling is 

required. 


No information available for this update. 


An audit of signing for the London Cycling Network around the Croydon 

Metropolitan Centre has been undertaken and a re-signing schedule has been 

prepared. New connections are being made as part of Connected Croydon 

programme. A design of a cycle hub at East Croydon Station has been completed. 

Proposals for a series of Quietways are currently being prepared, as well as 

proposals for addressing difficult junctions.

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: FREIGHT & DELIVERIES 

What? 

Freight consolidation centre 

Where? 

South of the borough. 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

An efficient and convenient freight system with minimal environmental impact is an 

important part of a vibrant and enterprising city. Currently the future needs of such 

a system of distribution are being assessed as part of the Transport Strategy. 

However, needs already emerging include depots in support of a centralised waste 

collection and recycling system in the COA area and other principal District Centres. 

For the COA area, there also needs to be assessed the viability of a complementary 

centralised delivery service. 

Mitigation: 

 

The Council will work with neighbouring boroughs to identify a site should a 

suitable site in Croydon not be found. 


The Council’s Pollution Team have been in discussion with Westfield and 

Hammerson to see if a short-term consolidation centre for the town centre 

regeneration can be accommodated. 


The search for a possible site in the south of the borough for a freight consolidation 

centre is pending agreement on the costing of the project and funding source. 

Risks: 

 

It will be difficult to identify a site in the south of the borough that is large 

enough to perform this function.

CONNECTED CITY PROGRAMME: TAXIS 

What? 

East Croydon - Lansdowne Road Taxi Rank 

Where? 


When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

Ensuring adequate taxi provision is important in encouraging the reduction of 

private transportation. 

Risks: 

 

Delay in completion which does not coordinate with the opening of the 

footbridge and pedestrian walkway on 28th November. This is due to utility 

service connection issues and finalising legal agreements with Ruskin Square 

Development. 

Mitigation: 

 

The Billington Hill rank will remain open and signage for the taxi rank on 

Lansdowne Road will only be installed when it is opened. 


Public consultation took place in November 2012 which comprised of widespread 

promotion of proposals via the Council website, press releases, a targeted letter to 

key stakeholders including TfL public carriage office and a presentation to TfL and 

Taxi representatives. 


The design was finalised in December and the construction was tendered in July 

2013. The taxi rank and adjoining disabled parking bay is to be constructed in late 

2013 or early 2014.

Coulsdon Memorial Ground– Café and toilets completely refurbished. Bowls 

Pavillion refurbished to enable new Friends group to manage the bowling 

green. 

Why? 

Parks to be Proud Of (PTBPO) was a £1.5million scheme to improve Croydon’s parks 

and green spaces. The scheme was designed to improve customer experience and 

satisfaction, increase usage and help deliver LAA targets. The scheme was designed 

to make a targeted approach with specific support at nine key locations in order to 

make a strategic transformation rather than trying to spread the resource across 

129 spaces in the borough. 


Learning and Volunteer Officer appointed for Wandle Park to engage with local 

residents, which is on-going. 


Norbury Park: Improved entrance and signage.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: PLAY AREAS 

What? 

There are 53 play areas within the borough’s parks and open spaces and 21 play 

areas on housing land. A project is proposed in 2014 to refurbish Little Road 

Playground. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

By 2020 

Why? 

Croydon Council was one of the first London Boroughs to develop a play strategy 

and has since produced a further two play strategies to ensure that play remains a 

priority across the Council and the community. Play has many impacts on children’s 

lives, including physical, emotional, mental and social benefits. The objectives of 

the play provision across Croydon is to ensure: 

1) Children feel physically and emotionally healthier through play. 

2) Children enjoy a rich and varied play experience in Croydon. 

3) Children enjoy diverse and stimulating environments for play throughout 

Croydon’s public spaces. 

A hierarchy of play facilities is to be developed to support applications for S106 and 

CIL funding. 


No stakeholder engagement has taken place since 2012 but external grant sources 

are to be identified by working in conjunction with Friends and stakeholder groups. 


 

 

 

 

Thornton Heath Recreation Ground: refurbishment of playground 

Wandle Park: whole park refurbishment including new play facilities, which 

was delivered with funding from a number of sources. 

Milne Park and Addington Vale: Playground refurbished in Milne Park and 

Queen Elizabeth’s Drive. A new rock play feature in Addington Vale. 

Westow Park: refurbishment of play ground with funding secured by Friends 

of Westow Park working in conjunction with Green Spaces. 

Risks: 

No budgets secured for future replacement of play facilities. 

Mitigation: 

 

Hierarchy of play facilities to be prepared to prioritise the removal of old play 

facilities to ensure an even spread of facilities across the borough.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: SPORTS PITCHES 

What? 

Programme based on co-location with schools and greenspaces. The Green Spaces 

Service currently have the following provision: 

Football: 

Junior Pitches– 16 

7-A-Side pitches– 14 

Senior Pitches– 31 

Cricket: 10 pitches 

The programme includes the upgrade of football pitches and facilities in Wandle 

Park, as well as the provision of junior and mini football pitches and privately owned 

outdoor facilities including tennis, football, cricket, rugby, golf and athletic clubs. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

Community access to outdoor sport and recreation facilities in Croydon is a key 

requirement for achieving targets set out by the Government and Sport England. 

Croydon Council needs to rectify identified inadequacies and meet identified 

shortfalls through improvements to the current pitch stock and ancillary facilities. It 

is important that the levels of pitch provision are protected, maintained and 

enhanced to secure provision now and in the future. (LONDON BOROUGH OF 

CROYDON , OPEN SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT FINAL REPORT AUGUST 2009) 


From 2014 Wandle Park will accomdate 1 junior pitch and 2 7-a-side pitches.

essential that Croydon’s public realm reflects this aspiration and is welcoming, 

simple, clean, accessible, sustainable, well managed and maintained. To encourage 

a new residential community and business to the Croydon Opportunity Area and 

District Centres, the public realm needs to be improved.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: URBAN WOODLAND AND TREES 

What? 

As part of the Woodland and Tree Management Plan, highway tree inspection and 

works, woodland health and safety inspection, tree planting and woodland 

inspection and works will take place. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

For all other deficient areas, gaps should be met by increasing the “naturalness” of 

existing areas of formal open space (e.g. through woodland planting). Meeting 

deficiencies as identified above will also go some way towards meeting the Natural 

England Local Nature Reserve Standard, which highlights a shortfall of 181.5 

hectares in Croydon. The Council and its partners will also maximise opportunities 

for street tree planting to assist urban cooling in a changing climate. 

to tree planting, over 500 replacement trees were planted during the winter of 

2012/13 and over 700 trees were planted in existing parks and woodlands. A new 

woodland has been created in Rowdown Field, New Addington, in partnership with 

the Woodland Trust. 

Risks: 

 

 

Spread of pathogens and pests such as Ash Dieback and Oak Processionary 

Moth. 

Further reduction in budgets.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: MAYOR OF LONDON – ACCESS TO NATURE 

What? 

To improve access to nature across London. These areas include Queens Road 

Cemetery, Melfort Avenue Recreation Ground, Norbury Hall Park, Addiscombe 

Railway Park, Purley Way East Playing Fields, Pollards Hill, Haling Grove, Wandle 

Park, Duppas Hill, Norbury Park and Brook, Cane Hill Hospital West and Waddon 

Ponds. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

By 2021 and beyond. 

Why? 

GLA Access to Nature mapping shows a good distribution of natural and seminatural 

greenspace provision in the south of the Borough where the larger sites are 

located. Due to land availability there are significant gaps in provision in the 

northern parts of the borough, particularly in Thornton Heath and Central Croydon. 

Sites are needed in north and central Croydon to reduce the area of deficit in access 

to nature. Land availability issues means that it is unlikely new natural sites can be 

provided in these areas. 




1) Addiscome Railway Park: meadow grasslands continue to develop, hedges 

have been planted and wetlands are good for amphibians. 

2) Wandle Park: river restoration and pond have been completed along with the 

meadows. The pond life is very good for such a new habitat. 

3) Waddon Ponds: The naturalisation of pond edges is proceeding although 

there are some issues with the establishment of aquatic vegetation. The 

phase 2 work is to be implemented by the end of March 2014.

and private residential landscapes. Grown Green initiatives within places of 

education including learning tools to attract grants and support for the introduction 

of urban agricultural schemes. Greening ‘Brown Fields’ initiative including the 

setting up of a borough-wide database of temporary lease sites, including landlocked 

sites. Initiatives related to ‘productive’ landscapes within new housing

Why? 

The Downlands Green Grid initiative (Area 7) relates to projects for the 

improvement and creation of new green areas and connections between them in 

the London Downlands area. It is supported and defined through a cross borough 

initiative between Croydon, Sutton and Bromley. The group’s vision covers the area 

where the countryside of the North Downs meets the urban edge and is punctuated 

by river valleys which spring from the chalk downs and the vestiges of the Great 

Northwood. 


There is on-going liaison with delivery partners, Natural England, London Wildlife 

Trust and community partners, including local housing associations. Regular open 

days have taken place, as well as events to engage with the local people. 


On-going management at the chalk grasslands sites in the London Borough of 

Croydon and other local areas including Hutchinson’s Bank, Featherbed Lane Verge, 

Happy Valley, Sanderstead to Whyteleafe Countryside Area and Foxley Woods 

Meadows. On-going management of woodlands and ponds and maintenance of 

trails, including the LOOP and Downlands Circular Walks. There has also been a 

Capital Downs bid to HLF, which was unsuccessful on this occasion. 

Risks:

Croydon has 18 allotments located within the Borough; six of which are managed by 

the Council, whilst the remainder sites are managed as private ownership or 

‘leased’ (direct management). There is a general shortage of allotments throughout 

the borough which has resulted in waiting lists. The specific areas of high demand 

for additional allotments are located within the north of the borough, particularly in 

the dense housing area of Upper Norwood where residential gardening 

opportunities are limited due to lack of green space.

Why? 

The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 and Flood Regulations 2009 place 

responsibility on Lead Local Flood Authorities, which includes Croydon, to prepare 

and coordinate a strategy for the prevention of flooding. 

A full Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) for the Borough has been prepared 

which details critical drainage areas in light of surface water flood risk throughout 

the borough. This work supplements the borough’s Level 1 and Level 2 Strategic 

Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) which details fluvial, groundwater, and sewer flooding 

issues in the borough. 

Authorities. 


1) Working to ensure that all our drainage assets (i.e. gullies, soakaways, pumps) 

are maintained effectively. 

2) Working with other boroughs to develop a Local Flood Risk Management 

strategy. 

3) Working with the Environment Agency to improve maintenance to the 

Caterham Bourne. 

4) Commissioned a detailed modelling study of flooding in Brighton/A23 through 

to Purley. 

5) Completed a number of tasks in accordance with the FWMA 2010. 

Risks: 

Failure to maintain the drainage system may result in flooding. 

Mitigation: 

 

Clean gullies and soakaways effectively and implement new drainage 

measures where applicable.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: ELECTRICITY SUBSTATIONS 

What? 

Delivery of an additional substation. 

Where? 

To be located in the Croydon North Area. 

When? 

Dependent on load demand justifications and availability of suitable land for a 

substation. 

Risks: 

No available site 

Mitigation: 

 

Ensure communication between Develop Croydon and Master Planning team 

to ensure availability of suitable land. 

Why? 

UK Power Networks advise that the additional primary grid substation will be 

required for any demand beyond the existing capacities of Croydon Grid, Croydon A, 

Croydon Central and East Croydon due to regeneration with the Croydon 

Metropolitan Centre. 


UK Power have attended a number of meetings with Croydon Council regarding the 

development of electricity infrastructure development plans. 


Feasibility tests have taken place which suggests that the additional substation can 

be provided from the Ashburton Grid.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: SUSTAINABLE ENERGY 

What? 

Croydon Opportunity Area District Heating, CHP related to energy centres on NHS 

Capital Programme 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

By 2020 

Why? 

The strategic direction for provision of energy set by the Mayor requires that at least 

25% of London’s energy needs are provided by low carbon and decentralised energy 

sources by 2025. Croydon accepts and will make provision for this through provision 

of district energy schemes and other sources including solar photovoltaic, wind and 

other forms of renewable energy generation. 


Technical and commercial feasibility study completed for ‘core’ scheme comprising 

key public sector buildings. Key development sites have adopted centralised heating 

designs that are ‘connected ready’ for any future area wide heat network. 

Risks: 

 

Financial return of ‘core’ public scheme is currently marginal. No suitable site 

(or sites) has been allocated or identified to host an energy centre that would 

have capacity to supply a town centre scheme. Individual development sites 

most likely to proceed with site based energy provision and no 

interconnection. 

Mitigation: 

Council and GLA to continue to champion area-wide heat network. 


The council engaged with GLA “Decentralised Energy Programme Delivery Unit” on 

scheme feasibility.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: WATER 

What? 

Reinforcement of strategic supplies and continuous renewal of water supply. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

The supply of secure, safe and reliable water supply to Croydon for the period to 

2031 to meet the needs of the existing community and new growth is primarily the 

responsibility of two regulated water companies: Thames Water and Sutton and 

East Surrey Water PLCs. Both bring forward 5 year business plans for the conduct 

of and investment in their business. The companies through private investment, 

water pricing and rates (for unmetered supply) are confident that sufficient good 

water can be supplied to the Borough for the foreseeable future subject to the 

continuing approval of their Business Plans by Ofwat. 


Sutton and East Surrey Water commenced work on its draft Water Resources 

Management Plan (WRMP) in 2012, which looks at the planning of Water Resources 

for the period 2015-2040. Up until March 2013, stakeholder engagement was 

limited to regular meetings with the Environment Agency’s local team and the 

Water Resources in the South East Group (WRSE). Members of the WRSE Group are 

DEFRA, The Environmental Agency, The Water Services Authority (Ofwat), Consumer 

Council for Water, Affinty Water, Portsmouth Water, South East Water, Southern 

Water, Sutton and East Surrey Water and Thames Water. The WRMP was 

published for comment on 12th May 2013 for a 12 week public consultation and as 

part of this consultation, a stakeholder workshop on 25th June 2013 took place to 

present the plan. The company is currently preparing a ‘Statement of Reponse’ to 

representations received as part of this consultation, which will be sent to the 

Secretary of State on 9th November 2013. 

Sutton and East Surrey Water commenced work on its Strategic Direction Statement 

and its draft business plan in late 2011. A Customer Challenge Group (CCG), 

responsible for ensuring that the Company is properly consulting with its customers 

was formed in 2012. The CCG includes the Environmental Agency, The Drinking 

Water Inspectorate, Natural England, Consumer Council for Water, local authority 

representation, business representation and the Customer Advisory Bereau. 

Stakeholder engagement has included regular meetings with the CCG, six customer 

focus groups in September 2012, online panels, presentations to local authorities 

and comments on the Draft Business Plan. 


Sutton and East Surrey Water is two thirds of the way through its AMP5 plan. With 

regards to water resources: 

Phase 2 of the uprating of the treatment works at Bough Beech was 

completed in April 2013. 

The Company is on programme to complete its AMP5 metering programme of 

32,000 meters by April 2015. 

The Company has already reached its water efficiency target for the AMP6 

period. 

Leakage has been maintained at, or below, the Ofwat target of 24.5 Ml/d, 

which is below the economic level of 27.3 Ml/d. 

Risks: 

 

 

Water Resource Management Plan: Secretary of State could not accept the 

Statement of Response to the representations made on the draft WRMP and 

the plan goes to public inquiry. This is a financial risk rather than a risk to 

water resources development, but could cause a delay in implementing the 

AMP6 (2015-20) programme. 

Periodic Review 2014– Business Plan: Ofwat may not accept the price 

increase proposed in the Final Business Plan. The most likely outcome of this 

would be the reduction in the proposed AMP6 programme. 

56

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: WATER 

Mitigation: 

 

 

Water Resources Management Plan: Sutton and East Surrey Water has 

attempted to ensure the plan is accepted. However, the risk is principally 

financial due to additional work and the possibility of a public inquiry. Any 

delays to the AMP6 programme would be inconvenient but should not affect 

the ability to supply as there is currently a surplus. 

Periodic Review 2014– Business Plan: If Ofwat does not accept the proposed 

price structure, there would be a need to re-prioritise expenditure to ensure 

the continued supply of a sufficient supply of safe, high quality drinking water. 

The risk to levels of service would increase marginally.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: SEWERAGE 

What? 

Maintenance/renewal where needed of sewerage infrastructure. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

A systematic pattern of renewal will be needed for the sewerage network. 

Croydon’s waste water is treated at three major sewage works: 

1) Beddington treats 65% of flow. These works are fit for purpose although prior 

to 2015 investment in sludge de watering will take place. 

2) Long Reach on the Thames at Dartford takes 30% of the flow and has recently 

been subject to major upgrade. A sludge treatment upgrade to the STW is in 

the process of being delivered. 

3) Crossness in Bexley takes the majority of other flows and it will also see 

investment in dewatering plant. The Thames Tideway Quality Improvements 

upgrade is nearing completion and a sludge treatment upgrade is also being 

delivered. 


During September 2013 consultation took place on the draft five year business plan 

for domestic customers, businesses and organisations. Thames Water have spoken 

to over 10,000 customers to get their feedback, through focus groups, online and 

telephone surveys and in-depth interviews. Proposals are also shared with an 

independent customer challenge group, which includes regulators and 

representatives from business, local government and organisations such as Age UK 

and the Consumer Council for Water. 


Since 2010, 44 miles of worn-out sewers have been replaced across London. A 

£40million upgrade is currently underway at Long Reach Sewage works, which will 

enable the site to deal with the increased sewage resulting from population growth 

up until 2021. A £220m upgrade at Crossness is due to be completed in 2014. A 

£250million programme started in 2012 to modernise and enhance sludge 

treatment at a number of sewage works, including Crossness and Beddington. 

Risks: 

 

 

 

Heavy rain periods can lead to unexpected sewerage flooding. 

Increased population growth and associated new housing developments will 

put increased pressure on sewers and sewage works. 

Aging equipment will increase maintenance requirements. 

Mitigation: 

 

 

 

Ensure sewers can cope as well as possible with heavy rainfall. 

Maintain upgrade programmes at sewerage works to be able to deal with 

increased populations. 

Managing the rate at which assets deteriorate and effect on customer service.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: ELECTRICITY SUPPLY 

What? 

Maintenance, renewal and replacement where needed of electricity supply 

infrastructure. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

On-going with projects scheduled up to 2023. 

Why? 

The local network of supply for electricity is owned and operated under licence by 

UK Power Networks. According to UK Power Networks, the adoption of Croydon 

Local Plan: Strategic Policies and the proposed regeneration of the Croydon 

Opportunity Area is expected to result in 22MW of new demand. A further feature 

of the supply network over the period of the plan will be the introduction of local 

generation on homes and commercial building through local wind turbines and 

photovoltaic systems. 


Four projects have been approved and are in progress or complete: 

Replacement of GT3 and GT4 at Beddington 132/33kV is now complete. 

Purley Local T1 and T2 replacement is now complete. 

Cable installation is complete and the switchroom construction is in progress 

for Coulsdon ITC. 

The Norbury Primary transfer load to Croydon B is to be completed by 2014. 

Further projects are scheduled up to 2023 across the Borough. 

Risks: 

Further assessts will be identified as having poor health. 

Mitigation: 

 

Future projects should be continued to be identified by UK Power Networks 

in their Regional Development Plan. 


UK Power have attended a number of meetings with Croydon Council regarding the 

development of electricity infrastructure development plans.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: REGENERATION OF NEW ADDINGTON 

What? 

Rationalisation of public sector assets, new community centre, library relocation, 

leisure facilities and public realm enhancements. 

Where? 

New Addington 

When? 

By 2020 

Why? 

The area is one of the most deprived in Croydon (in the top 2% IMD nationally) and 

has been included in the London Plan as a strategic area for regeneration. In the 

long term, New Addington has enormous potential to develop as a future urban 

core, co-existing with and complementing the economy of the main town centre. Its 

transport infrastructure, reasonable rents and proximity to Biggin Hill Airport and 

aerospace industry supply chain in Surrey make it a future contender for growth. In 

the short term, it is anticipated that modest improvements will trigger the 

momentum required for sustainable economic growth. 


An informal public consultation leaflet was issued in early 2013 to gauge the 

public’s opinion of the public realm enhancements to Central Parade undertaken 

under the Outer London Fund (OLF) and the initial proposals for further public realm 

works to Central Parade through Mayor’s Regeneration Funding (MRF) which has 

been secured. 


The OLF works have been completed and MRF has been secured to undertake 

further public realm enhancement works at Central Parade. Funding has also been 

secured to undertake a feasibility study of the entire Central Parade environment, 

including the leisure provision and community uses on the western side of Central 

Parade and the row of shops and parking on the Eastern side. 

Risks: 

 

 

Town and village green cannot be reorganised, limiting the potential of the 

site. 

Limited support by the community. 

Mitigation: 

 

 

London Borough of Croydon will seek legal advice regarding TVG 

reorganisation. 

A very thorough engagement programme will take place.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: EAST CROYDON MASTERPLAN 

What? 

Public realm enhancements 

Where? 

East Croydon 

When? 

By 2020 

Why? 

East Croydon station is Croydon's front door. It is also the busiest station in Britain 

outside Central London, with direct links to Gatwick Airport, London Victoria and 

London Bridge in 15 minutes. The East Croydon Masterplan brings together 

developments, including Stanhope Schroder's Ruskin Square and Menta's Cherry 

Orchard Road, to create a new urban quarter with an improved transport 

interchange and railway station. Enhanced public realm will tie together the various 

proposals, and connect the area with improvements planned for Wellesley Road 

and College Green. New station entrances to the north-west and north-east will 

increase capacity and better provide for Croydon’s forthcoming developments. 


One formal Masterplan Implementation Group meeting has been held. Engagement 

and formal consultation on East Croydon Interchange public realm took place in 

summer 2013. A range of extensive engagement has taken place through pre-apps 

and delivery projects. 


East Croydon Bridge is completed and now open. New western station entrance and 

exit opened in summer 2013. Other stations improvements are underway. McAslan

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: WEST CROYDON MASTERPLAN 

What? 

Public realm enhancements. 

Where? 

West Croydon 

When? 

Phase 1 by 2015 and Phase 2 by 2020. 

Why? 

West Croydon has all the ingredients of being a fantastic place. Its excellent 

transport infrastructure, established rich mix of uses, built heritage and diverse local 

community - along with its adjacency to the commercial heart of central Croydon - 

all add up to a development area with great potential. The arrival of the East 

London Line in summer 2010 has put Croydon on the tube map for the first time. 

The West Croydon Masterplan takes a careful, coordinated approach to ensuring 

the delivery of a new station and interchange, optimised development potential and 

a transformed and well-connected public realm and provides a narrative that sets 

the scene for a cluster of new buildings. 


One formal Masterplan Implementation Group meeting has been held. Engagement 

and formal consultation on West Croydon Interchange public realm took place in 

summer 2013. A range of extensive engagement has taken place through pre-apps

Why? 

The Fairfield Masterplan has been prepared jointly by Croydon Council and local 

stakeholders to realise the area's potential, and rediscover its role as a thriving 

regional destination for culture and learning. A master planning team led by Make 

and Kinnear Landscape Architects developed proposals through over a year of 

engagement and consultation with local groups. The Masterplan provides a phased 

long-term framework for delivering the transformation of the area. Crucially, it also 

involves proposals for making change happen now. 


Fairfield Masterplan has been adopted. Funding has been secured for College Green 

Paving improvements. Procurement of consultation team for Fairfield Halls 

underway but currently in abeyance pending further instruction. 

Risks: 

 

A large proportion relies on private or public/private developments coming 

forward. 

Mitigation: 

 

Work with the Council’s Housing Development and Regeneration Team to 

promote redevelopment of privately owned sites.

Where? 


Risks: 

Uncertainty regarding future funding from central and local government and the 

Mayor of London. 

Mitigation: 

Seek out funding opportunities including CIL. 

When? 

On-going 

Why? 

The Old Town Masterplan will show how the area of Old Town could be improved 

for people living, working and shopping in the area over the next 20 years. It will be 

a supplementary planning document that sets the parameters for development of 

the buildings, streets and public spaces in Old Town and also look at how 

movement in, out and around the area could be improved by all modes of 

transport. It will also recommend how the heritage assets of the area can be 

preserved, enhanced and celebrated. The Old Town Masterplan is funded by the 

Mayor of London and Croydon Council. 


Stakeholder Engagement has included monthly Old Town Masterplan Stakeholder 

Project Board meetings; an Ideas Workship in March 2013; and and Emerging Ideas 

Exhibition, 2013.

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

The Council has successfully secured £50m of funding, including £23m from the 

London Mayor's Regeneration Fund, to upgrade the town centre and create the 

ideal conditions for investment. This will lead to a more prosperous, thriving 

Croydon. Connected Croydon is needed to create an attractive environment that 

will secure inward investment and establish the right conditions for a growing 

residential community, as well as for those who work in and visit Croydon. 


The Connected Croydon programme is being delivered in nine distinct work 

streams, each with its own communication plan that states who we engage with, 

when and how. Key stakeholders are invited to contribute to the project’s 

development at a minimum of two key stages. 

Connected Croydon information board. 


The council’s customer engagement web-page details the extensive public 

involvement that has taken place. This includes eight public exhibitions, regular 

attendance at residents and traders group meetings, press releases, a tumblr 

website and information boards attached to hoardings across town.

SUSTAINABLE CITY PROGRAMME: CROYDON SPORTS ARENA 

What? 

Redevelopment of Croydon Sports Arena. 

Where? 

South Norwood and Woodside. 

When? 

After 2021. 


The Council’s Education Department has undertaken a feasibility study to determine 

the options for providing a new school alongside an upgraded sports arena. 

Risks: 

 

The available funding could be insufficient to deliver full range of 

improvements. 

Why? 

The borough has one athletics arena in the north of the borough ‘Croydon Sports 

Arena’. The arena has an 8 lane all-weather 400m running track with a centre field 

and training area in good condition. However, the changing accommodation is in 

need of an upgrade. Croydon Council needs to rectify identified inadequacies and 

meet identified shortfalls through improvements to the current pitch stock and 

ancillary facilities. It is important that the levels of pitch provision are protected, 

maintained and enhanced to secure provision now and in the future. 

Mitigation: 

 

The feasibility study should prioritise the improvement measures to ensure 

the most pressing are delivered. 


The Council has been in discussion with both Croydon Harriers and Croydon Athletic 

Football Club and is undertaking a public engagement exercise to consider the 

possibility of providing a new school alongside an upgraded sports arena.

The provision of swimming pools and sports hall space is part of the Council’s vision 

for a ‘safe, healthy and prosperous and sustainable future for the whole 

community’. This project is informed by the Sports Facilities Needs Assessment (May 

2009). 


Discussions between the Council and a number of providers (including the proposed 

developer of the existing Purley Pool site) have taken place.

What? 

Redevelopment of Woodside Health Centre to expand services. 

Where? 

Woodside Health Centre 


The redevelopment of Woodside Health Centre is at the project definition stage of 

scoping and timescale. 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

NHS Croydon evaluated its estate in a 2009 review, and has now finalised an Estates 

Strategy to optimise utilisation and deliver improved facilities in line with need. In 

some cases this means changing the function of sites depending on the more 

appropriate administrative or clinical use. This is a major issue which needs 

addressing both internally by NHS Croydon, as well as in partnership with the 

Council to ensure its infrastructure needs can be integrated with the spatial planning 

process. 


In order to undertake the Estates Strategy, the Primary Care Trust worked in 

partnership with the Council, South London & Maudesley Foundation Trust and 

Mayday Healthcare Trust to take a strategic approach to the overall estates needs 

of the borough.

CARING CITY PROGRAMME: NEW BURIAL GROUND 

What? 

Provision of a new burial ground. 

Where? 

Greenlawns Cemetery in Tandridge 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

In 2009/10 the Council commissioned a study for future requirements and the 

recommendations estimate a need for 10,000 interments for the period up to 2031. 

Additional land is required to meet this demand. Recommendations for the location 

of new burial grounds within the borough were considered by the Council but were 

found to be unsuitable following detailed investigation regarding archaeology and 

groundwater. Therefore the Council is seeking to bring forward a site next to the 

Greenlawns Cemetery in Tandridge. 


Following the conclusion of detailed site investigations of potential new cemeteries 

in Croydon, the decision was taken to pursue an extension to the Council owned 

cemetery in the neighbouring borough of Tandridge. Pre-application enquiries have 

been completed and a planning application has been submitted. 

Risks: 

 

Planning permission for an extension to Greenlawns Cemetery may be 

refused. 

Mitigation: 

 

The Council has undertaken significant pre-application enquiries to reduce 

the risk of permission being refused. 


Colleagues from Croydon’s Bereavement Services Team have met with officers from 

adjoining boroughs including Tandridge District Council to discuss the proposal and 

to consider the scope for cross borough burial arrangements. In September 2013, 

Croydon’s Chief Executive met and discussed the proposed application within the 

Tandridge Chief Executive.

CARING CITY PROGRAMME: SUPPORTED HOUSING FACILITIES 

What? 

Modernisation of supported housing schemes 

Where? 

Boroughwide 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

Housing support enables vulnerable people to maintain their independence and to 

lead a normal life. It provides people with the support, skills and direction they need 

to help them get back on their feet and achieve and sustain independent 

living. Investment in housing support reduces costs in homelessness, health 

services, tenancy failure, crime and residential care. Housing adaptations help older 

people stay more healthy and mobile and help reduce admissions to, length of stay 

in and delayed discharge from hospital. Croydon has a range of need for supported 

housing services from three main groups of people: 

• older people 

• adults with support needs 

• adults at risk of social exclusion 


Review of the older people housing strategy has started which will set out proposals 

for the future of sheltered and extra care housing for older people. New supported 

housing scheme for people with learning disabilities and people with physical 

disabilities at Southbridge Road is on site and due to open in 2014. Eldon Housing 

Association has started the refurbishment of the Westdene extra care sheltered 

housing scheme. South London YMCA has commenced redevelopment of the 

millennium foyer site to provide new supported housing for homeless young 

people. South London YMCA opened Alexandra House supported housing scheme 

for vulnerable single people and Ingram Court supported housing schemes for 

homeless young people in 2012.Rolling programme of review and recommissioning 

of supported housing contracts has continued. 

Risks: 

 

Insufficient supported housing available to meet growing demands and the 

requirements of cost efficiency programmes . 

Mitigation: 

 

Identification of strategic needs, liaison with GLA to secure capital funding 

and liaison with registered providers to secure GLA capital funding.

Metropolitan Police’s property portfolio in response to new ways of delivering 

policing in the borough. 

Where? 

Borough-wide 

When? 

By 2016 

Why? 

The recent consultation highlighted the public’s wish to see more officers on patrol. 

The purpose of this strategy is to help the Metropolitan Police to do that by saving 

money while improving the remaining estate. 


Between January 2013 and March 2013 a public consultation exercise was 

undertaken. 


The new MOPAC/MPS Estates Strategy for 2013 to 2016 was adopted in May 2013.

CARING CITY PROGRAMME: AMBULANCE SERVICE FACILITIES 

What? 

Replacement for Croydon Ambulance Station 

Where? 

North/Central Croydon 

When? 

To be confirmed 

Why? 

The Croydon base at Primrose Lane, Shirley, includes offices, workshops and 

parking. Its building stock is old and held to be poorly located in relation to the 

principal areas of need in north and central Croydon, The operational service 

believes that the Croydon depot possibly merged with the South Croydon operation 

should be located in north/central Croydon close to a major road. Following the 

opening of the new Purley ambulance station, the most pressing requirement is for 

the replacement of the Croydon station. This will require site provision for offices, 

changing rooms, unit buildings, stores, garages, infection control facilities and 

operational and non-operational parking.

CARING CITY PROGRAMME: LONDON FIRE BRIGADE FACILITIES 

What? 

Replacement for Purley Fire Station 

Where? 

Purley 

When? 

By 2015 

Why? 

There is a 10 station £57 million Private Finance Initiative (PFI) project to provide 

new facilities which are designed to accommodate the new generation of fire 

appliances and meet the current needs of the London Fire Brigade. The London Fire 

and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) are working with the PFI model to bring 

additional Central Government Capital Investment into the London Fire Brigade to 

transform the service for flexibility in the future and upgrade some of its stations. 

20% of stations have been categorised as not suitable for the operational 

requirement of a modern emergency service. Amongst these, Purley Fire Station has 

been identified as a high priority for redevelopment. 


London Fire Brigade have engaged with London Borough of Croydon’s ‘Call for Sites’ 

exercise in relation to Purley Fire Station. 


Detailed planning permission has been obtained. Construction is due to start on site 

circa third quarter 2014 as part of phase 2 of the PFI project. Completion is 

estimated to be approximately 12-15 months thereafter. The new fire station is 

anticipated to be fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2015. 

Risks: 

The delivery of the new fire station is guaranteed under the PFI project. 

Mitigation: 

Not Applicable.
