A 220-home scheme on the former site of Purley Baptist Church called in by government has been approved by the Planning Inspecorate.
The development, on the junction of Banstead Road, Russell Hill Road and Brighton Road, was approved following a second public inquiry, which took place in December 2019.
The £20million scheme, put forward by the baptist church and Thornsett Group, includes a 17-storey building, along with an eight-storey and a three-storey building.
Thirty-nine of the homes will be affordable, and the development includes a new home for the baptist church, along with community space.
In a statement, Thornsett Group said: “Thornsett Group plc and Purley Baptist Church are delighted to have received planning permission for their scheme of 220 homes, 39 of which are affordable, and new church and community facilities.
“We look forward to starting work in the very near future and delivering new homes and community facilities that everyone can feel proud of.”
