Policies/Guidance: Planning Guidance: London Borough of Croydon

The London Borough of Croydon adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance for Public Art in January 2005 which provides advice, design considerations and criteria on how and where to locate art features. It is non statutory planning guidance and is supplementary to the Croydon Unitary Development Plan adopted in January 1997.

The Supplementary Planning Guidance sets out the purpose of the guidance and outlines the policy context. It defines public art and its value in the public realm, and goes onto to look at design considerations in detail. There are also sections on applying the policy guidance and applying the procedures.

The full Supplementary Guidance may be downloaded in Adobe Acrobat Format from the London Borough of Croydon website at http://www.croydon.gov.uk/environment/dcande/planning/spgs/publisartspg.pdf
