Crawley Borough Council is inviting residents, businesses, organisations and visitors to share their views on the draft Town Centre East Regeneration Plan, which sets out the council’s ambitious long-term vision to enhance this key part of Crawley, creating a more vibrant, connected and attractive town centre.
The Town Centre East area includes a number of key regeneration sites and public spaces around the Town Hall, County Buildings, Crawley College, Queensway, Queens Square, and The Boulevard.
Proposals within the draft plan explore opportunities to:
- provide 30,000 square metres (sqm) of commercial space for business and jobs growth
- introduce 21,000+ sqm of new education facilities at Crawley College
- expand the town centre’s cultural venues and community facilities
- improve public spaces and strengthen connections for walking and cycling across the town centre
- deliver around 850 new homes to support a growing town centre community
This draft regeneration plan represents an exciting opportunity to shape the future of Town Centre East and ensure it meets the needs of our residents, businesses and visitors for years to come.
We want to hear from as many people as possible to help refine and strengthen these proposals to ensure the final vision reflects local priorities and aspirations. I encourage everyone to share their views and help shape plans for one of the most important development areas in Crawley town centre.

Cabinet member for Planning and Economic Development
