In order to develop Croydon's Local Plan and its supporting documents, we are maintain a Local Plan Consultee Database. This contains the contact details of people and organisations who would like to be involved with the development of Croydon's new planning documents.
Privacy notice
The database contains personal contact details and all representations made on Local Plan consultations. If any representations made to the Council contains ‘sensitive data’ (which includes racial or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious or philosophical beliefs; trade union membership; or health, sex life and/or sexual orientation) then this too will be held within the database (as part of a summary of the representation) on the basis that by submitting the information, the person who made the representation is giving their explicit consent to the sensitive data being held within the database.
The data will be used to support the preparation of the statutory development plan for Croydon and its supporting documents. Data may be shared with the Planning Inspectorate and any appointed Programme Officer (who may be external to the Council) in relation to the Examination in Public of the statutory development plan for Croydon.
All data will be kept indefinitely. At any stage you may request to be removed from the Consultee Database. If a request to be removed from the Consultee Database is made then one of the following will occur:
- If you have made any representations on the statutory development plan (often called the Croydon Local Plan) or supporting document since 2011, and any part of that plan or supporting document still forms part of Croydon’s planning policies then you will no longer receive any correspondence from Croydon Council using the Local Plan Consultee Database but your details will still be held on the database until all documents that you have made representations on are no longer part of Croydon’s planning policy framework, at which point your details will be permanently deleted. This is because the Council has to keep records of representations made on the statutory development plan; or
- If you have not made any representation on the statutory development plan since 2011 then your details will be permanently deleted from the Local Plan Consultee Database
It is a requirement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 that the Council prepare a Local Plan that sets out the authority’s policies relating to development and the use of land in the borough. Under the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 the Council is required to notify such residents or other persons carrying on business in the authority’s area from which the Council consider it appropriate to invite representations. To establish who such residents or other persons are, the Council maintains the Local Plan Consultee Database.
