Whilst the proposals to change the national planning system are currently on hold (since April 2022), there are other threats to the leafy streets of Coulsdon...
... The Local Plan Review.
The Croydon Local Plan (2018) is the lowest-level planning guide; it sits below the London Plan (2021), which in turn sits

All planning applications have to comply with all of these documents, and they are all reviewed periodically.

The Local Plan Review will be consulted on next in Jan-Feb 2024. This is expected to be a new version of the Local Plan Review document,

A Review of the Council’s CIL Charging Schedule will be consulted on in September 2023. This will focus on updating the rates that development/ developers
