Egret West Studio has submitted an application to build three residential towers in Croydon, with the tallest reaching 42 storeys.
The South London project, submitted on behalf of Croydon Developments Ltd, is part of the wider Fair Field masterplan and is located near Fairfield Halls and Croydon College.
In addition to 676 new apartments, the proposal called "Tapestry" includes flexible ground-floor spaces for retail, cafes, and restaurants, a primary healthcare facility, and a nursery. The project also involves creating new public spaces and landscaping.
Egret West Studio acts as the architect and landscape architect for the project, while planning consultancy DP9 is involved.
Other participants include monitoring and evaluation consultant Hoare Lea, QS Core Five, and structural consultant Whitby Wood.
Previously, the site was intended for development by the former municipal housing company Brick by Brick, which was owned by the council but was liquidated several years ago.
A 2019 planning application from MICA Architects for a five-unit residential complex was approved by Croydon’s planning committee in April 2020, but the project was not realized.
Later, in 2021, the council sold the site for approximately £20 million. Delta Properties is promoting this project on behalf of the developer.
