Allies & Morrison and Leonard Design Architects will draw-up plans to redevelop and combine Croydon’s current shopping centres -the Whitgift Centre and Centrale – to create a mixed use scheme of around 200,000 square metres.
A planning hearing for the scheme is due to be heard next month with construction expected to start in 2015.
Hammerson and Westfield have formed the Croydon Partnership joint venture to oversee the scheme.
