Compact houses on relatively small plots;Local authority built housing with public realm;Retail Estates & Business & Leisure Parks

Residential development

The site is suitable for residential development as the garden centre is not a protected use. Residential development will help to meet the need for new homes in the borough. The Sustainability Appraisal recommends public transport improvements are made as part of the development to mitigate the site's low public transport accessibility rating.  The Listed Building should be positively integrated into the development.

Compact houses on relatively small plots;Industrial Estates;Large buildings in an urban setting;Mixed type flats

Secondary School and residential development subject to access from Stafford Road

The site is of a suitable size for a secondary school, is in an area that has a high demand for school places and can make a significant contribution to meeting this demand. The site is also large enough to accommodate new homes as well as a secondary school. Residential development will help to meet the need for new homes in the borough. Access to this site is currently an issue and development is dependent upon the reconfiguration of the Fiveways junction as currently it is not possible to provide access on to Stafford Road or Duppas Hill Road because of the volume of traffic on these roads. The Sustainability Appraisal recommends the loss of open space is mitigated by the development. School buildings and residential development should be located away from areas at risk from surface water ponding.

High

Large buildings in an urban setting;Tower Buildings;Transport Nodes

Residential led mixed use development incorporating either hotel, office leisure and/or class A2-A5 uses. Also retail so long as the current planning permission is extant.

Proximity to East Croydon Station means site is well suited to provide homes and could include either offices, hotel, leisure and/or Class A2-A5 uses as part of a mixed use scheme. The site lies within Croydon Metropolitan Centre but outside the Primary Shopping Area so all town centre uses except retail are acceptable in this location. The redevelopment of this site could help to meet the need for new homes in the borough. The site has planning permission for a retail use having passed the sequential test. Should the planning permission expire retail use would cease to be an acceptable use on this site unless a new sequential test demonstrates that there are no sequentially preferable sites available that are suitable for the type of retail use proposed. A cycling hub is required to improve the sustainability of the site, the development of which  has some negative environmental impacts, although partly mitigated by the provision of housing and employment.

Redevelopment of a mix of residential, retail, commercial and community uses to form the basis of a new residential community.It is recommended that basements are not considered at this site. Further ground investigations would be required at this site to confirm the the likelihood of groundwater occurrence.

Potential for a new Local Centre in the Fiveways area of Waddon is identified in the Croydon Local Plan's Strategic Policies. Over the lifetime of the Croydon Local Plan, reconfiguration of out of town retail warehouses in the borough will provide an opportunity for redevelopment with a mix of residential and retail use alongside new community and leisure uses. Residential development will help to meet the need for new homes in the borough.

At this location, the culverted River Wandle has been incorporated into the surface water sewer system as it flows north below the A235 Brighton Road. A Flood Warning and Evacuation Management Plan must be prepared for the site.

There are no sequentially preferable sites within the Brighton Road (Sanderstead Road) Local Centre for a supermarket and a developer is interested in building one on this site. Residential development will help to meet the need for new homes in the borough.

Residential development

As part of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 any town centre or scattered employment site that has been vacant for more than 18 months is being proposed for redevelopment if it could accommodate 10 or more new homes. Policy SP3.2 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018 requires that evidence of lack of demand for the existing premises or site for an employment use be provided before other uses can be considered. However, the need for new homes in the borough is so great that, as a plan-making process, a plan-led release of vacant town centre and scattered employment sites is proposed to help meet the need for new homes.

It is situated at a distance from East Croydon station so it less suitable for office use. Residential development will help to meet the need for new homes in the borough. The Civic Space is a requirement of the Mid Croydon Masterplan. Many of the retail/catering units in St Georges Walk house independent businesses tht provide low cost options and measures should be taken to enable these to continue in Croydon either within the development or elsewhere. As the site is in a Conservation Area, the Council's  Conservation Area Guidance and Management Plans will need to be adhered to and proposals assessed against  this. The Sustainability Appraisal recommends that the impact of the proposal on the conservation area is mitigated through the heritage and townscape assessment.

Existing office building is not protected from development. Site is too far from East Croydon station to be suited to continued use as an office building in its entirety so conversion to residential or residential and office is preferred option for this site. The area is not suited to more tall buildings or buildings taller than Leon House which means that redevelopment of the site is unlikely as a redevelopment would not be viable because of restrictions on height and the cost of demolishing Leon House. Site is outside of the Primary Shopping Area so is not suitable for retail use although the existing retail floor space can be retained or replaced.

Existing station building is a low density development and use of the site (as identified in the West Croydon Masterplan) could be increased to include residential use. Improvements to the station as a transport interchange including a cycle hub is a policy aspiration of the Croydon Local Plan stategic policy SP8 and will assist in the sustainability of the development.Accoustic measures will need to be incorporated in the design to assist sustainability of the development and measures to alleviate surface water flooding taken, especially if current areas along train tracks are developed, reducing natural drainage capacity.

Self-contained residential basements and bedrooms at basement level are not permitted in areas that have 'potential for groundwater to occur at the surface' (BGS Susceptibility to Groundwater Flooding). A high risk of surface water flooding surrounds the site, particularly across the road network such as Cairo New Road and Church Street. There is one historic record of surface water flooding held by Croydon Council in this location.

It will help meet the need for housing in the borough. Retail or a community use will assist in providing an active frontage to the ground floor. Previous use of the site was retail so new retail use is acceptable. As the site is in a Conservation Area, the Council's Conservation Area Guidance and Management Plans will need to be adhered to and proposals assessed against this. The Sustainability Appraisal recommends that the impact of the proposal on the conservation area is mitigated through the heritage and townscape assessment.

The Shopping Parade on the southern part of the site is proposed for de-designation as it does not have any shops in it. The current community use within the site should be included to assist sustainability in the local context. As the site is within a Flood Zone 3 it will be subject to the Exception Test as part of a Site Specific Flood Risk Assessment.  Any development which involves an increase in building footprint should ensure there is no impact on the ability of the floodplain to store water.
