Croydon Council has validated two planning applications this week, one proposing the demolition of an existing building behind Westow Street in Upper Norwood and its replacement with a new three-storey residential development, and another seeking a lawful development certificate for a property in South Croydon.
The first application, reference number 26/02695/FUL, concerns the rear of 29-33 Westow Street, fronting Carberry Road, Upper Norwood SE19 3RW. The proposal includes the demolition of the existing building and the erection of a three-storey residential building (Class C3), all fronting Carberry Road.
Details of the Upper Norwood Residential Proposal
The development would create a new building fronting Carberry Road, replacing the existing structure behind Westow Street. The application has been submitted for validation by Croydon Council, and the public can view the full details through the Public Notice Portal.
The second application, reference number 26/02320/LE, concerns 10 Warham Road, South Croydon CR2 6LA. This application seeks a lawful development certificate for the established use of the property as a house in multiple occupation within Use Class C4.
How to Access Planning Notices and Public Information
Residents can find details of these applications, along with other planning applications, alcohol licensing applications, and planned road closures, by searching the Public Notice Portal at www.publicnoticeportal.uk. The portal is the fastest and most effective way of finding out what is happening in your neighbourhood.
The Public Notice Portal is owned and operated by the News Media Association, the voice of UK national, regional, and local newspapers in all their print and digital forms. NMA members include nearly 900 local and regional news titles which reach 40 million people across the country each month.
Impact on the Community and Next Steps
Many of these publications have served their communities for centuries and remain the most reliable source of verified news and information. The portal, created by local news publishers and supported by the Google News Initiative, carries statutory public notices published in local newspapers.
Interested parties can search the Public Notice Portal to view the full details of both applications and any other public notices affecting the Croydon area. The validation of these applications marks the beginning of the statutory consultation process, during which residents can submit comments to Croydon Council.
