6 16 Places of Croydon Croydon is a borough made up of a series of varied and distinctive neighbourhoods and areas, which we call Places for simplicity. By understanding and expressing the character and what makes each place special and different, we involve local people in their area, so enabling us to plan sensitively.

10 the growth zone What is it? A Partnership between Central Government, Croydon Council, the Greater London Authority and Transport for London to finance and deliver an infrastructure programme at a cost of 495m, which is essential to facilitate growth in Central Croydon. Where is it? The Growth Zone aligns with the Croydon Opportunity Area although some projects will take place beyond the central area, especially along corridors. How is it financed? A Government grant of 7m has been provided to kick start the programme and cover short term interest costs. The Council will borrow up to 309m to allow the infrastructure investment to commence from April Additional funding from TfL, GLA and S106 sought. As part of a new devolution deal, Central Government is to allow LBC to retain 50% of growth in business rates in the Growth Zone for the next 20 years which will be used to repay the loan. What is the timescale? The Growth Zone will run until approximately 2038.
