"The scheme will deliver a pair of tower blocks measuring at 19 and 24 storeys tall, including 353 new homes. The council approved the scheme last July, with the project being part of a plan from John Lewis Partnership to deliver 1,000 homes in 10 years."
"This now gives us the opportunity to enhance the local area, create vital new housing for the local people of Bromley and deliver a state-of-the-art Waitrose, which sits at the heart of the community," said Katherine Russell, director of build-to-rent at JLP.
"The next stage of the works will see updates to the Grade I listed dinosaur statues and the surrounding Tidal Lakes. The 24 million project will also see a new dinosaur-themed play area being added alongside improvements to the Penge Gate and the walls of the Grade II listed Italian Terraces."
"Repair works are scheduled for the bust of Sir Joseph Paxton, the designer of the original Crystal Palace. The council agreed to the proposed works in July 2024, alongside nearly 20m of additional funding of the scheme through sales of council-owned parkland and a National Lottery Heritage Fund."
