Latest news

As part of the design process for the Regina Road redevelopment, the councillors on the planning committee will review the current proposals for the scheme.

A pre-planning application committee is an early-stage meeting where councillors review development plans before a formal application is submitted. It allows developers and planning officers to present ideas, gather feedback, and address concerns, helping to refine proposals. While no decisions are made, the discussion provides valuable insights.

This is an open meeting and residents can both attend the session or watch on-line.

Date: Thursday 10 April, 2025
Time: 6:30pm
Location: Council Chamber, Town Hall, Katharine Street, Croydon, CR0 1NX

A live stream can be viewed on the day at: https://democracy.croydon.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=136&MId=3869

Future engagement events will be advertised in the Timeline and events section.

About Regina Road

Regina Road is one of Croydon’s housing estates in South Norwood. The area shown in the shaded area of the drawing and photos below (red line boundary), includes three 11-storey tower blocks, each with 44 flats, and four medium-rise blocks close to the tower blocks, plus low two-storey housing, a total of 191 homes.

Built in the 1960s as social housing, the tower blocks used the then innovative large panel system – a standard method at the time to address the UK’s housing shortage. Today, around 100,000 people across the UK live in homes built using this system.

Some homes have had issues like water leaks, condensation, and mould. While repairs have helped, further work is still needed. After listening to residents, the council committed to action. In Spring 2023, a resident ballot was held, and tenants unanimously voted to demolish and rebuild the estate.

The 191 homes within the designated ‘red line boundary’, area will now be redeveloped.

We continue to consult residents on the future of Regina Road.
