'We are delighted that the stadium plans for Croydon's premier league football club have the go-ahead and this exciting project can move forward,' said Jason Perry, executive mayor of Croydon. "This is the outcome of continued work behind the scenes by the Council and Crystal Palace FC on getting the plans right for the football fans and the area and supporting the residents of Wooderson Close."
The total capacity of Selhurst Park will rise from 25,486 to more than 34,000. The new stand will have three tiers and will have improved access for supporters with disabilities, a new club shop, museum and café.
The football club signed a legal agreement to provide replacement homes, and provisions have been agreed to make sure that the development doesn't impact the borough's affordable housing supply.
