Croydon council bids to build 600 new homes on 20 plots of land

But many local people aren’t happy about it.

A spokesman for Brick by Brick said: “We work closely with the local community and other stakeholders on all our proposed developments, consulting extensively throughout the process in many different ways.

“This is central to our mission to create well-designed homes that are properly integrated with the surrounding neighbourhoods, and ensuring the homes we create are prioritised for local people.

“Working with the community is at the heart of everything we do, and all proceeds from our developments are returned to the council to be reinvested in Croydon.”

The developments are:

• King Henry’s Drive, New Addington – a four-storey block of 27 flats. There will be some green space not built on and residents are being asked for their ideas on what could go here
• Gascgoine Road, New Addington- a six-storey block of 23 flats. On the same site there is already a five-storey block of flats
