Welcome to the LOSRA Website

As with any other local neighbourhood, the policies and actions which affect the character and future of Lower Sunbury are generally framed and implemented by a combination of local and national government, along with the vested interests and market forces which operate within those frameworks. Lower Sunbury is by no means unique in being under threat from a creaking infrastructure brought about by rapid urban development, the growth of traffic, and other pressures affecting the quality of life and the character of the area.

Working with the local authorities, we see it as the responsibility of residents’ and amenity groups such as LOSRA to address the underlying issues which fundamentally affect their members’ lives, as well as the minutiae of everyday life with which such groups are often concerned.

Please sign up to receive our regular e-bulletins by subscribing via the facility at the top left hand of this page. It goes without saying that, without your continued support we would cease to function so we urge you to join, or renew your membership now Subscriptions (£5 per household) for 2024 are now payable.

The SSAA are delighted to announce their Spring 2011 series of coffee concerts at the Riverside Arts Centre. Please click here to see the leaflet giving the details.

Latest News on 'Eco Park' Hearings

The planning application to retain the existing facilities will be considered by the Planning and Regulatory Committee of Surrey County Council at a special meeting on 2nd February rather than 12th January as was originally planned.

The Spelthorne's Planning Committee will consider the Eco Park application at a Special meeting on Wednesday 26th January at 7pm. Our Council, as statutory consultees, must first consider the full application for the Eco Park before the application is determined by the Planning and Regulatory Committee of Surrey County Council.

All residents are urged to attend the important special meeting on the 26th. Don't forget to visit: http://satep.moonfruit.com/ for all the latest.

Walton Bridge to Go Ahead

Walton BridgeFollowing the last election and the uncertainty of publicly funded projects, it is now confirmed that the £32m Thames Road Bridge at Walton has been approved.

The permanent arch road bridge will be the first new road crossing over The Thames in 20 years. The structure, which will replace the two "temporary" bridges connecting Walton and Shepperton, is due to be completed by the summer of 2013.

The Department of Transport will invest £23.8m with the remainder coming from Surrey County Council. The Authority expects work to start in January.

A Special Planning Committee was convened on Wednesday night to consider the application by Surrey County Council for the permanent allocation of the Charlton Lane Green Belt site as a permanent waste management facility. (See entry for 20th December).

The hearing was well attended and two residents spoke against the application.

As statutory consultees, the Committee, on a proposal tabled by the Vice Chairman, accepted an amended recommendation than that originally proposed by the planning officer. Rather than raising no objection, the amended version included the following recommendation:

1.1 Surrey County Council be informed that this Council OBJECTS to the proposal for the following reason:

1.2 There is a lack of clarity in the purpose of the application to retain the existing facilities in their entirety beyond the life of the current temporary planning permission in 2016. This means that the required case for very special circumstances to allow inappropriate development on the Green belt has not been sufficiently demonstrated on a permanent basis. It is considered that there is some justification for allowing a further extension of the temporary permission and a period of 9 years, up to 2025 is deemed reasonable.

Given that the final word will rest with Surrey County Council, the full implications of this recommendation will not become clear until SCC have considered the matter. The full wording of the recommendation which also outlines other material concerns may be viewed on the Council Website in due course.
