The Regina Road Regeneration is a priority project for the London Borough of Croydon (LBC). It is the first major regeneration scheme that LBC is undertaking directly in recent times and has vested interest from both senior members of the Council and in the wider community. The Project commenced following a successful ballot and decision of London Borough of Croydon’s Cabinet on 25 October 2023 approving full redevelopment of the estate via direct delivery by LBC. .The project now seeks to deliver a minimum of 340 new quality homes for residents to replace existing 191 post-war housing which is in poor condition. Phase 1 of the project comprises delivery of 225 affordable homes (including 215 social rent, 10 shared equity/shared ownership), a community space, and a nursery. The balance of a minimum of 115 units is to be delivered as part of Phase 2. Refer to appendix A for the site phasing layout plan. The site layout plan details the existing blocks on site as highlighted in red. The demolition of 1-87 Regina Road tower block has commenced and will be completed by the time the main works is scheduled to commence in March 2026.
