Phase Two – update: December 2024

Phase One of Signal Park in Tolworth has been completed. There are 211 shared ownership homes built and around 150 residents have moved in. 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. CDRA attended the event. We will study the application in more details, but have initial concerns and will be objecting.
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 initial concern is that the developers are requesting to build 226 housing units, more than the 950 units that were previously permitted. We are also concerned by the height of these flats. The previous owner had promised not to exceed 10 storeys high. However, this new application is for four blocks up to 16 storeys high. We consider it to be far too high and dense for this neighbourhood.
CDRA will be objecting to this application.
