THE SITE
A freehold plot of about 181.5 sq m (about 1,954 sq ft, subject to survey) beside 29 Southbridge Road, within walking distance of Croydon town centre. The plot runs back from Southbridge Road between St Andrew's Church and a terrace of Victorian houses, and is currently occupied by a pair of single-storey garages.
PLANNING PERMISSION
Full planning permission was granted by the London Borough of Croydon on 13 October 2026 (application 26/01330/FUL) for the demolition of the pair of single-storey garages and the erection of a 2.5-storey, three-bedroom, four-person end-of-terrace house at 29A Southbridge Road.
Development must begin within three years of the permission. Before work starts, a construction logistics plan and a contamination desk study must be approved; other conditions cover cycle and refuse stores, flood risk mitigation and water efficiency, and permitted development rights are restricted. A unilateral undertaking under section 106, dated 5 October 2026, accompanies the consent, and the development may be liable for the Community Infrastructure Levy.
An earlier consent (13/02365/P, granted in 2013) allowed a two-storey, three-bedroom house with basement on the site.
The decision notice, the unilateral undertaking and the 2013 consent and drawings are all in the legal pack. Buyers must read the full conditions and make their own enquiries of Croydon Council.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A straightforward infill project for a builder, developer or self-builder: clear the garages and build a new family house as the end of the existing terrace, in a town centre location within the Croydon Growth Plan regeneration area. Croydon's planning approval rate is 80.8%, and average CR0 residential values are around £4,900 per sq m.
THE LOCATION
Southbridge Road runs south from the junction with Lower Coombe Street, a short walk from Croydon town centre. The Whitgift Centre, Centrale and Boxpark Croydon are all within easy reach.
Rail: East Croydon and West Croydon stations nearby, with fast trains to central London and Gatwick.
Tram and bus: Tramlink and bus routes across Croydon.
