Planning permission was secured for a tall building on an existing car park site, located on the southern edge of Croydon town centre on Edridge Road.

The scheme delivers a part 33, part 11 storey residential building, comprising 230 apartments, including 23% affordable housing, in a contemporary development of high quality design. The proposal includes a tree lined area of paved public realm that incorporates the building’s colonnade to link the street with the building’s glass double height ground level entry lobbies and communal facilities and provides roof top gardens and amenity spaces.
 
Extensive negotiations were undertaken with Croydon Council and the GLA. The scheme had its particular challenges, in terms of accommodating a building of this scale and its impact on heritage assets, in particular in long views of the Grade I listed Croydon Minster, which were successfully overcome. The harm was considered less than substantial and the public benefits weighed in favour of the scheme.
