Berkeley Homes have received the green light to build a £140m 44-storey tower in Croydon. Croydon Council approved plans to build the development at Wellesley Square which will see a total of 739 flats built across five blocks. The development will form part of the Council's Croydon Vision 2020 to regenerate the Town Centre. It is thought the tower designed by Rolfe Judd architects has been designed to resemble a crocus. Historians believe that the name 'Croydon' was derived from the Latin for crocus and valley. |
