A VIDEO of what Croydon's Westfield shopping centre could look like has been released by the developers involved in the £1 billion scheme.
The clip, which features a fly-by of the town centre, modelled in 3D, was shown during a council committee meeting last night where the project was given outline planning consent.
It shows the Whitgift Centre being transformed into a new leisure, shopping and residential district by Westfield and Hammerson.
The video zooms in to show artist's impressions of entrances along Wellesley Road and North End, as well as the proposed 24-hour pedestrian walkway through the complex.
It also depicts the large residential towers which will form part of the scheme.
After being given the go-ahead by the council, the plan will be scrutinised by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson before being looked at by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles.
