Most of these developer contributions are designated for mitigating the impacts of developments, with a portion allocated to electric vehicle charging points. Contributions are also earmarked for improvements to railway stations.

Specifically, upgrades are planned for East Croydon, West Croydon, and Reedham stations. At West Croydon station, lifts will be installed to the overground platforms. For all three stations, funds are earmarked for general accessibility and capacity enhancements.
