It aims to deliver new homes while protecting Croydon’s distinctive character, London Now reports, where further details of the plan can be read.
Croydon’s executive mayor Jason Perry said: "It is very welcome news that the Planning Inspectorate has agreed the Croydon Local Plan can progress to the next stage.
"This is a key milestone that moves us closer to delivering a clear, aspirational long-term vision for our borough."
It puts sustainable development first, with a focus on good design rather than cramming in density.
It also aims to meet London Plan housing targets while protecting green spaces and creating well-designed places to live, work and visit.
Next, the council will go back to residents, businesses and community groups for views on the Inspectorate’s suggested changes.
Mr Perry said: "As we work to restore pride in Croydon, it’s vital that new homes are delivered in a way that protects our borough’s character for generations to come.
"This Local Plan Partial Review strikes the right balance between meeting housing needs and safeguarding our neighbourhoods, green spaces, and sense of place."
He thanked the community for getting involved so far.
Mr Perry said: "I want to thank the residents who have taken the time to share their views and help shape this plan so far.
"Your voices have been central to getting us to this point, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with our communities as the plan moves forward."
He added: "Croydon has always been a place of history, heart and hustle, a story built over centuries. This plan is about making sure that story continues."
