New homes in South Croydon start with a drawing of the old one
Many people searching around "new homes in south croydon" are buying, extending or reworking a house rather than building from scratch. Either way, a surveyor-grade floor plan lets you test ideas on paper before spending anything on builders.
Our measured building survey in Croydon is the on-site measuring, and the floor plan is the drawing that comes out of it. If you want the whole drawing set for a planning application, see our architectural drawings service.
Croydon decided 786 householder applications in a year
CR2 sits in the London Borough of Croydon. Our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2 (released 24 Sep 2026) records 786 householder decisions there over the four quarters 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2, prior approvals included.
Taking out prior approvals, 95% of householder decisions were made within 8 weeks. A busy council is not a reason to rush the drawings: a mismatch between plan and elevation is what delays a valid start.

Check conservation areas before you design
The national register holds 20 conservation-area entries for Croydon in our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform datasets (bulk snapshot retrieved 14 Aug 2026). Croydon Council's conservation area map shows whether your road is one of them, and if it is, that changes what you can alter without an application.

Drawing rules every council applies
The government's planning practice guidance on making an application requires an identified scale on every plan and a north point. Location plans typically use 1:1250 or 1:2500.
None of this is optional for a planning submission, so our floor plans follow it from the first draft.
