The Croydon Council Planning Committee is scheduled to convene on Thursday, 29 October 2026, to consider a range of planning applications. The meeting's agenda includes discussions on two significant planning applications, as well as a review of recently issued planning decisions.

Planning Applications for Decision

The committee is scheduled to consider two planning applications for decision.

Hydethorne Heights, 98 Hyde Road, South Croydon, CR2 9FB

A retrospective planning application is to be considered for Hydethorne Heights at 98 Hyde Road, South Croydon. The application pertains to the demolition of an existing building and the erection of a two-storey building with basement and accommodation in the roof space. This development is described as comprising 2 one-bedroom and 6 two-bedroom flats, with the formation of a vehicular access and 8 parking spaces, along with cycle and refuse storage. The report pack indicates a recommendation to grant permission for this application.

129 Waddington Avenue, Coulsdon, CR5 1QP

The committee is also scheduled to review a planning application for 129 Waddington Avenue, Coulsdon. This application involves the demolition of the existing dwelling and the formation of an access road for the erection of 8 new dwellinghouses. The proposal includes associated on-site car parking and landscaping. The report pack suggests granting permission for this application, subject to the completion of a Section 106 agreement to secure a financial contribution of £12,000 towards sustainable travel improvements.
