Whitgift Centre and surrounding areas redevelopment
Croydon's Planning Committee is currently considering plans for the redevelopment of the Whitgift Centre and surrounding areas.
Plans for the redevelopment of Croydon's Whitgift Centre and surrounding areas were unveiled to Croydon's Planning Committee in September 2026. The project aims to transform the town centre into a mixed-use neighbourhood with new homes, reduced retail space, and enhanced public areas.
The redevelopment, spearheaded by URW which acquired the Whitgift Centre in 2023, proposes approximately 3,000 new homes. The plans envision a significant shift from the current retail-dominated landscape.
