A new report warns against Croydon’s past mistakes: tearing down old houses for bland flats that erased local charm and cost politicians their jobs. Instead, it highlights success stories like Chelsea and Tower Hamlets, where homes were added through thoughtful design rules—like rooftop extensions—that preserved neighborhood character. When new builds feel like they belong, residents support them. The solution? City-wide Local Development Orders to streamline approvals and enforce consistent, community-friendly design. People aren’t against housing—they’re against ugly, disruptive buildings. Build with care, and London can grow without losing its soul.
