Masterplan proposes new homes, shops and public spaces
A fresh round of consultation on scheme to revamp the centre of Croydon in south London begins later today.
Developer Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) say its Croydon Project will transform the Whitgift Centre and Centrale – both shopping malls – as well as the Allders department store building into a mixed-use destination with new homes, public spaces, shops, restaurants and leisure uses
It said: “The masterplan outlines how Croydon town centre could be transformed into a modern mixed-use destination, combining new homes with a stronger retail, leisure and cultural offer that keeps the town centre active throughout the day and evening.”
The plans include up to 3,000 homes in the town centre, a new public square as well as improved routes and connectivity through the town centre. The scheme is designed by Allies & Morrison.
The public consultation will last for a week, URW said. A planning application for improvements to Centrale was submitted earlier this year.
