Landscape architect HTA Design has received planning consent to restore the Grade II*-listed Crystal Palace Park in south-east London.

Bromley Council signed off the £17.75m project to restore the Victorian park’s original features, including the iconic Grade I-listed dinosaurs and Italian Terraces.

The refurbishment plans were developed by a team of specialist consultants led by HTA Design.

The project includes:

  • Restoration of the Grade I-listed Geological Court, including the dinosaur sculptures and an enhanced landscape setting;
  • A new dinosaur and geologically themed play area;
  • The restoration of the Grade II-listed Italian Terraces;
  • A new information centre and maintenance facility;
  • A new feature entrance at Penge Gate;
  • Improved lighting, wayfinding, and accessibility around the Tidal Lakes and Italian Terraces;
  • A sustainable water management system that will integrate stormwater runoff with the landscape through sculpted swales and rain gardens.
