Aberdeen Redraws Planned Whitgift Centre Extension

LONDON-Aberdeen Property Investors has come back with a scaled-down proposal for the Bishop's Court extension to the Whitgift shopping centre in Croydon, south London.

By Graham Parker | Updated on September 03, 2003

LONDON-Aberdeen Property Investors, manager of the Whitgift Shopping Centre in Croydon, south London, has submitted a revised planning application for the Bishop’s Court extension to the scheme. The proposals have been scaled down after previous plans were rejected earlier this year.

The modified scheme is for 350,000 sf of retail floorspace in a re-designed layout providing 53 units on two levels, including a 150,000 sf store to anchor the southern part of the Whitgift Centre. This compares with the provious proposals which comprised approximately 500,000 sf of retail floorspace and 660 parking spaces with one major department store and 61 other units.

The scheme includes a mall through the centre to George Street connecting the existing Whitgift Centre at ground and at first floor level across George Street to Minerva’s Park Place development south of George Street. Although no new car parking is now envisaged, the existing car park will be modified and up graded.
