Breathing new life into Kingston town centre
Kingston Council is starting to work on plans to renew our historic town centre to make it even better for our residents, local businesses, students, and visitors.
Wilko building Clarence Street to gain three floors and 60 flats
Wilko Building - developers propose two floors of retail, and provision 60 flats - some affordable (unspecified at the moment)
Eden Campus – a reduction in height makes no difference to our objection
Despite the welcome news of a revised application with a lower 16 storey tower we are still firmly opposed to this over-developed scheme.
Eden Campus – our further response
Despite the welcome news of a revised application with a lower 16 storey tower we are still firmly opposed to this over-developed scheme.
Eden Campus
A three towers cluster Eden 'Campus' development is proposed for the Surrey House Island Site, incorporating Lever House, the Hippodrome, Brook St Carpark and Surrey House. Comprising office & residential towers, one rising to a height similar to the Tolworth Tower, another matching the Royal Exchange’s signature tower. All three would breach planning guidance.
Kingsgate (Canbury Park)
The plans represent a gross over development of the site and will seriously damage the local area as well as views from Richmond Park. The height, scale and massing, banal and predictable design will have a major harmful impact upon not only the Old Town Centre Conservation Area, including All Saints Church, but upon many of the residential streets of North Kingston.
