Section 106 affordable homes

1 story · 1 council

Croydon Council is awaiting a Greater London Authority decision on its bid for a 10-year programme to deliver new affordable homes.

Croydon Council discussed plans for 1,000 new homes, which include affordable housing secured through Section 106 planning agreements, at a Housing Assurance Board meeting in September 2026. The council submitted a bid to the Greater London Authority (GLA) for a 10-year programme to deliver these homes, aiming to tackle homelessness and increase housing supply.

An outcome from the GLA is anticipated in the coming weeks. If the bid is successful, a detailed timescale for delivery and financing will be established, requiring financial appraisal work before any site is committed and delivery is agreed.
