Selected Local Planning Applications of Interest

The following are recent planning applications considered to be of particular interest. Further details of these and other applications may be obtained from Hook Library, or from the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames Planning Department. Some details, often including drawings, can be obtained from the Council's website at www.kingston.gov.uk/environment/planning.htm.

Planning applications to which the committee has decided to make objection are shown in red. For those shown in orange, we have made observations to the planning authority. Let us know if you think that we should object to any others by sending us an e-mail to cdra@torrero.demon.co.uk, or by attending the next CDRA committee meeting. The dates and location for these are given on the Home Page.

If you are affected by a planning application, you may also be able to get help from the Citizens' Advice Bureau.

Members of the public may now speak at neighbourhood planning meetings. Details of planning applications, often including drawings, are available on Kingston Council's website at www.kingston.gov.uk
