The following notice has been published by Spelthorne Council and we are very pleased to post it on our website. Please look out for our newsletter which will be distributed to all local households in the Lower Sunbury area from mid-November or on line at this website.

Message from Spelthorne

Consultation on the next stage of the Spelthorne Local Plan will take place from 12 noon Tuesday 5 November 2019 to 7 January 2020.  The first consultation on the Local Plan was held last year and asked the public to consider options for how Spelthorne will meet its need for housing, gypsy and traveller pitches, employment sites and other uses.  This stage sets out draft policies for the new plan and proposed sites across the Borough to be allocated for development.  The selection of sites follows the preferred strategy, to maximise building on land in urban areas such as town centres, particularly Staines-upon-Thames, and to consider releasing some ‘weakly performing’ Green Belt for development.  This option will enable the protection of the Borough’s most important green spaces.

The full Local Plan Policies and Sites documents are available to read on our website www.spelthorne.gov.uk/localplan along with all of the research and evidence documents which supports them.  The December edition of the Bulletin, delivered to all households in Spelthorne, will contain a special 8-page section on the Local Plan including detail of the sites with maps.

There will be three public events to provide further information to residents and other interested parties.  These will be held at the Council Offices at Knowle Green on:

  • Tuesday 12 November at 7pm
  • Thursday 14 November at 7pm
  • Monday 18 November at 7pm

Please note: The events will require a ticket in order for us to manage attendance, but are free.  We are using a website called 'Eventbrite' for ticket bookings which are available to book online now www.spelthorne.gov.uk/localplan or you can ring 01784 446449.
