The following self-explanatory email from the Head of Planning and Housing Strategy for Spelthorne Borough Council is reproduced here for the attention of all residents:
I am writing to let you know that Redrow Homes have advised us they will be issuing a press release early next week [see below] to say they have an agreement with the Jockey Club to bring forward proposals for housing development at Kempton Park. They will at the same time email all Borough Councillors.
We understand they will seek to promote the site for housing through the Council’s review of its Local Plan and not through a planning application at this stage. They are well aware of this Council’s strong stance in protecting its Green Belt.
We also understand they are looking at setting up a dedicated web page to provide a public explanation of their intentions and notifying local groups.
At this stage Roberto [Council's Chief Executive] and I wanted to give you the earliest notice of what we understand to be Redrow’s intentions.
I will be able to give further advice, as required, when we see what they actually say but if you have any queries in the meanwhile let me know.
Regards
John Brooks BSc DipTP DMS MRTPI MCMI
Head of Planning and Housing Strategy
