Back in February, Croydon’s Planning Committee endorsed the Masterplan Framework for the town centre, reaching a significant milestone in the regeneration of the town centre.
The developers, Unibail Rodamco Westfield (URW), have set out their principles to transform the North End Quarter into a thriving, mixed-use destination—bringing new homes, shops, cultural venues, and public spaces to the heart of Croydon.
The framework proposes better-connected public spaces, green areas, and pedestrian-friendly streets, whilst conserving key landmarks like the Whitgift Almshouses and Allders building. This is a major step forward in realising our vision for a revitalised town centre, restoring pride to Croydon.
URW are now consulting on the plans and calling for residents to get involved.
Find out more about their proposals to redevelop the Whitgift Centre, refurbish Centrale and reimagine Allders on their website at https://urwcroydon.com/.
There are several ways to see more and give your thoughts:
- At their consultation events in Centrale (Unit 55, Lower Ground Floor, Centrale, 21 North End) on
- Tuesday 22 July from 4pm to 7pm
- Saturday 26 July from 10am to 1pm
- Wednesday 30 July from 2pm to 6pm
- Via their virtual exhibition and survey, see https://urwcroydon.com/early-vision/
- At community co-design workshop, by signing up to their mailing list
The regeneration of Croydon has been a priority for Croydon’s Mayor Jason Perry and he has been instrumental in bringing together URW and other partners such as the GLA together to facilitate the development of the masterplan.
