  • The property is situated on Wellesley Road opposite the London South Bank University Croydon Campus. It benefits from excellent transport links, being in close proximity to both East Croydon and West Croydon stations as well as the Tram. It also benefits from being close to local amenities and well known retail and leisure brands with The Whitgift shopping centre being a short walk to the west and BOX Park 0.3 miles to the east.

Additional information

  • Following the Government’s announcement regarding amendments to Class MA of the General Permitted Development Order (2024) which removed the area threshold, there is the opportunity to seek prior approval from London Borough of Croydon or the change of use of the property. The property is not constrained by any Article 4 Directions that would inhibit the potential for change of use. According to the legislation, this could be achieved by seeking prior approval for the change of use and ensuring that any residential proposal addresses all the necessary technical requirements.
  • Our client has previously engaged with the Local Authority regarding the demolition of the existing buildings and redevelopment for alternative living uses. This includes engaging in pre-application discussions for new build residential and student housing schemes, given the proximity of the London South Bank University, Croydon Campus. The student scheme proposed redevelopment for 624 student beds including affordable student accommodation. The HTA Architects design extended to 223,000 sq ft GIA and was consistent with the Council’s aspirations for the site in terms of scale and density. A copy of the proposals and the feedback received can be obtained from the appointed agents.
