Crayford

Crayford is a major district centre in the east of the Borough. Crayford boasts a large modern retail warehouse park as well as a range of traditional shops and a large supermarket. In 2005, after widespread consultation with a range of partners and stakeholders, including the Crayford Community and Business Forum, the Council adopted a Strategy and Action Plan for Crayford Town Centre. This will provide the development proposals and projects that will promote the environmental, cultural and economic improvements to regenerate Crayford to become the sustainable town centre that its history deserves.

Crayford Strategy & Action Plan

Crayford is a town with a strong civic pride and local history where people care deeply about the future, about its changing character, the mix of town centre uses, and traffic problems. More about strategy & action plans...

The Crayford Strategy and Action Plan (CS&AP) was adopted in July 2005, following extensive development and public consultation. It seeks to promote and co-ordinate regeneration in and around Crayford town centre. Although it does not attempt to address detailed matters, such as design requirements and aspirations for specific localities, it contains a principle objective to create a strong identity and sense of place for Crayford Town Centre.

Crayford Town Centre Design and Identity Guide and Crayford Residential Design Code

The Crayford Strategy and Action Plan does not attempt to address detailed matters, such as design requirements and aspirations for specific localities, it contains a principle objective to create a strong identity and sense of place for Crayford Town Centre.

To ensure achievement of this particular objective, the Civic Trust, an organisation that focuses on bringing vitality and high quality design to the built environment, was commissioned to produce two documents: Crayford Residential Design Code and Crayford Town Centre Design and Identity Guide.
