A Bold Vision For Croydon
A masterplan for regeneration has been created so that Croydon retains its title of having the largest office space in the South East, excluding Central London.
The Masterplan
The regeneration programme includes a strategy by Croydon Council to transform the Croydon Metropolitan Centre into a world class sustainable city centre with a huge range of sports, entertainment and leisure facilities as well as new homes and a wealth of new business premises.
Wellesley Road
This masterplan seeks to unlock pedestrian movement by transforming the Wellesley Road into a world class urban space. Saffron Square is an integral part of the Wellesley Road Masterplan and identified as an 'urban room' within the enhanced public realm. The masterplan will reunite the eastern and western sides of the metropolitan centre, which are currently divided by the dual carriageway, into a consolidated thriving hub of activity.
West Croydon
The West Croydon Masterplan focuses on West Croydon Station and its surrounding area. It will deliver a new station and a transport interchange including a transformed and well connected public realm.
East Croydon
East Croydon Station is the busiest station in Britain outside Central London, due to its excellent rail links with Gatwick Airport, London Victoria and London Bridge. The East Croydon Masterplan will tie together various development proposals in the vicinity of the station and deliver an improved transport interchange and railway station, enhanced public realm and a pedestrian footbridge.
College Green
Finally, the vision for the masterplan at College Green is to develop a learning and cultural quarter including a mixture of residential, retail and leisure uses. The aim is to create a vibrant, sustainable environment that establishes College Green as the destination for entertainment and creativity.
