‘Simplifying’ Local Plans
‘Machine readable’
3 Areas
• Growth
• Renewal
• Protected
National development management policies

Possible implications for Croydon
Growth – Sites would have outline planning permission
• Purley Way
• Will have a statutory requirement to prepare a masterplan or design code
Renewal – Statutory presumption in favour of development of uses we choose
• Most of borough
• Could set different uses in different areas
Protected – Government will set planning policies for us
• Green Belt
• Conservation Areas
• Flood risk
• Open space
• Sites of Nature Conservation Importance

Abolishing Duty to Co-operate and replacing it with a Standard Methodology
• = larger places can take more homesSize of place
• = less affordable places should build more homesAffordability
• =Largely urban areas can take more homesOpportunities to reuse brownfield land through greater densification
• = less housing in areas covered by lots of Green Belt, or flood risk, or conservation areas
Constraints
Regard will be had to…

Streamlining development management
Protected Areas
• Planning applications as now
Renewal Areas
• Automatic consent for pre-determined uses
• Faster planning application (based on permitted uses/design codes)
Growth Areas
• Reserved matters application
![Page 7: Planning White Paper and Housing Targets in the Local Plan ......Small sites (windfall) 12,820 Total (excluding Purley Way) 33,936 Title PowerPoint Presentation Author Mohammed, Atika](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052102/603c91ae99fcf840892e32da/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Streamlining development management
Only need to submit the Plans and a 50 page planning statement on how it complies with Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework. No need for assessments on:
• Flood risk
• Design
• Highways, Transport and Car Parking
• Or anything else…
Standardised conditions (set nationally) on permissions
More applications delegated to officers
•Member involvement limited to cases that require the principle of development to be established
• Covers development in Protected Areas and where the proposed use is not listed under Growth Area or Renewal
Strict time limits
• Application fee refunded if not determined on time

Faster, and more standardised Local Plans
Standard template for Local Plans
Statutory 30 month timetable for producing
new Local Plan
Emphasis on consultation on Local
Plan over commenting on planning applications
Member involvement focussed on Local Plans
rather than planning applications
Croydon will (probably) have 42 months from introduction of new system to prepare a
new Local Plan

Design codes
Local Design Codes to support Local Plan
Every local planning authority to have a Chief Officer for Design & Placemaking
New permitted development rights using government set ‘pattern book’ of ‘popular and replicable designs’

CIL and s106
CIL and s106 abolished and replaced with a nationally set ‘infrastructure levy’
• Levied at point of occupation
• Councils could borrow against future levy receipts to forward fund infrastructure
Affordable housing would be funded by same ‘infrastructure levy’
• Affordable homes could be provided ‘in kind’ in lieu of paying part of levy

Development in Growth Area
Site would already have outline permission through
Local Plan
Detailed matters considered against ‘Local Design Code or
Masterplan’
Generic matters (biodiversity, flood risk) considered against
national development management policy

Development in Renewal Area
Presumption in favour of uses listed in Local Plan
• Text would set out suitable uses
• Also limitations on height and density
Assess application against design code, government ‘pattern book’
Generic matters (biodiversity, flood risk) considered against national development management policy

low density areas
Expand existing high density
areas
