Last week, Croydon Council announced that Polaska, the leisure centre's owners, had submitted new proposals for the project. These proposals were developed after a series of public exhibitions and in response to feedback from the planning consultation.
Under the original plans, Polaska promised 220 later living homes within the complex. However, the new proposals promise 10 per cent of these homes would be affordable. The proposal also includes a new public car park with 50 spaces, up from zero in the first proposals.
PWRA chair and Purley resident James Hillam told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: The other RAs have banded together and have been anti-development because of the parking allocation that is associated with it.
If you tell someone that has been driving into Purley for 40 years that sorry you may have to consider cycling or taking the bus, even if there are some car parking spaces available, they will be against it because they have done it for all these years.
