Planning approval has been secured to transform the Croydon Park Hotel site into a new £220m build-to-rent scheme.

Developers Amro and its joint venture partner Flemyn have had plans green lit for 447 rental homes across two adjacent towers of 36- and 33-storeys.

A quarter of the homes in Botanical house will be three-bedroom apartments, with the remainder either two- or three-bed homes.

A fifth of the scheme will be affordable, available to tenants at below market value via Discounted Market Rent and London Living Rent.
