Plans
Berkeley Homes' proposals for this key northern gateway site include:
- A new town square accessible to all and integral to the design. Offering a public environment to the large number of people who work in Croydon.
- A 45-storey tower incorporating a light feature to the Croydon skyline.
- Approximately 800 new homes, a proportion of which will be for affordable/key worker housing. 10% will be for shared ownership housing.
- 3,000 m² of retail floorspace including shops, restaurants and cafés surrounding the public square.
- Sustainable initiatives to minimise the scheme's impact on the environment. A significant proportion of the site's energy requirements will be met by on site renewable energy sources.
- Creation of improved permeability and safeguarding of future pedestrian links between East and West Croydon stations.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“Make your plans for the year in the spring, and your plans for the day early in the morning.”
—Chinese proverb.
