permanent residential use

1 story · 1 council

Croydon Council recently approved a micro hotel with a 90-day stay limit, a form of temporary accommodation, not permanent residential use.

Croydon's Planning Committee approved an outline application for a new micro hotel on Scarbrook Road in September 2026. This decision grants planning permission for a part 3/part 6 storey building, providing up to 20 rooms. Councillors discussed the development's scale, its impact on neighbours, and its intended use as a C1 hotel with a 90-day stay limit.

The approved micro hotel's 90-day stay limit means it is not for permanent residential use, which is defined as a property's use as a primary dwelling on a long-term basis. There are no upcoming meetings scheduled to discuss permanent residential use at this time.
