Living in Botanical House will provide a feeling of wellness for residents. Generous communal areas will be well-managed, active and versatile. A gym and other leisure facilities will be included. (The picture above shows the Green House Reception Entrance)
The circa 447 homes for rent will help to meet Croydon’s housing needs. Many will be dual aspect making the most of natural lighting and ventilation. The mix of apartments will cater for many different groups of people ranging from one-bedroom flats for single people, to three-bedroom accommodation for families. It will include a range of affordable homes known as Discounted Market Rent and London Living Rent. 10% will be designed to suit wheelchair users.
An on-site management presence will ensure that high standards are kept. As a Build to Rent scheme, the development will have single management with single ownership which will ensure quality is maintained. Longer tenancies will be available offering residents more housing security.
Our plans will deliver a bio-diversity net gain, with more than 50% of the site as soft landscaping. There will be gardens for residents and the public, an avenue of trees along Altyre Road and green roofs on the tops of the buildings. There will be play areas for children and spaces for relaxation. This will be a significant improvement on the current hard surfaces which surround the former hotel.
