Revisions to Overline House planning and development

Plans for a major regeneration scheme for Crawley Station and Overline House in Crawley town centre have been revised due to site constraints.

The Station Gateway scheme, which includes the redevelopment of Crawley Station and Overline House, received outline planning permission in August 2016.

Since then, Arora Group in partnership with Network Rail, Crawley Borough Council, West Sussex County Council and the station operators (Govia Thameslink Railway) have been working together on a development constraint that has meant the need to re-assess the multi-storey car park.
