Phase Two – update: March 2025
Phase One of Signal Park in Tolworth has been completed. There are 211 shared ownership homes built and most of these are now sold. It’s likely you will have seen the development as you drive on the A3 or pass on the train.
Developers Countryside and The Guinness Partnership have now submitted the planning application for Phase Two to Kingston Council. A public information event was held on 5th December 2024 at Baking Ideas in Tolworth. A presentation was also given at the South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee meeting on 25th March 2025. CDRA attended both events.
The developers are seeking permission for the following:
- Detailed permission for 336 homes and 879sqm flexible commercial space.
- Outline permission for approximately 629 homes, up to 123sqm flexible community space, new public realm, landscaping and car parking.
Our concerns are:
- the developers are requesting to build 226 more units than the 950 units that were previously permitted.
- the height of the blocks: the previous owner had promised not to exceed 10 storeys high. This new application is for four blocks up to 16 storeys high.
- number of car parking spaces is inadequate (251 spaces for 965 homes)
CDRA are strongly opposed to this application considering it to be far too high and dense for this neighbourhood.
At this time, there is no date for the application to be heard at Kingston Council’s Planning Committee.
