Premcor submits plans for 445-home Croydon project

Premcor has submitted plans to develop 445 new homes in Croydon alongside numerous commercial and community spaces.

156 of those homes will be ‘affordable’ in addition to 1,772 sq m of commercial and community space on the ground floor of the project. The project covers 4-buildings the tallest of which being 29 storeys. The others will be 26 storeys, 13 storeys and one will be 4-7 storeys.

Director of Premcor Rob Lane said: “This is a significant inner-city regeneration scheme and it has taken four years to reach the planning submission stage. We have invested an immense amount of time and thought into creating a masterplan which we see as being able to deliver the optimum residential, commercial and community benefit for the Croydon community. Our vision is to create a safe and sustainable mixed-use neighbourhood that revitalises Woburn and Bedford Court and Wellesley Road. In the wider context, the redevelopment of the site aims to deliver a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood that promotes local employment, supports small to medium-sized enterprises and serves as a community hub which is currently lacking in the neighbourhood.”
