Archaeological Priority Areas

Archaeological Priority Areas (APAs) show where development might affect archaeological remains.

Archaeological Priority Areas (APAs) are used to highlight where development might affect archaeological remains. They cover areas where there is significant archaeological interest and also where there is potential for new archaeological discoveries.

The Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service (GLAAS), part of Historic England, provides archaeological advice on developments affecting APAs in Croydon. The GLAAS website has more detail about Archaeological Priority Areas in Croydon, including individual assessments of the areas.
