Croydon's Controversial Redevelopment: Towers and Concerns
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Croydons Woburn and Bedford Court estates face demolition, making way for a new development of four buildings, including a 32-storey tower, to deliver 445 homes, including 156 affordable units. Concerns about added pressure on local services, loss of sunlight, and impact on historic buildings have been raised. The new scheme includes 92 three-bedroom homes, commercial space, and public realm improvements. Planning officers back the proposal, but Green Party Councillor Ria Patel warns of significant shadows. The planning committee will meet next week to consider the demolition plans.
