Sorting office development gets go-ahead

admin: May 21, 2004 - 11:58am

Having reduced the height by three stories, the Terence Conran design has finally been approved by councillors. Construction is expected to start early next year.

After making a major re-design which reduced the building from nine floors to six, CNM Estates Ltd have had their plans approved. The building will contain 65 flats as well as offices and potential shops, restaurants and bars.

Initial opposition to the plans have been quelled somewhat after re-working the designs to reduce the height, make the outside more fitting with the surroundings and re-thinking the building's waste management.

Local councillor Barry O'Mahoney has accused Southborough residents of being selfish towards their neighbours by forcing through parking restrictions.

All change at Surbiton Station car park

admin: February 27, 2004 - 12:24pm

Proposed plans to change car parking at Surbiton Station are to be discussed with the public.

At 5.30pm on Monday March 15 at the Victoria Road YMCA, the public has been invited to comment on Kingston Borough's plans to improve the parking and develop housing in the South East corner.

The draft brief to be discussed, which can be downloaded from the council's website, proposes the following:

  • High density and affordable housing
  • Attractive and convenient station parking
  • Unified appearance with environment and enhance station's character
  • Environmentally sustainable features

With the possible reduced parking due to this proposed housing development, and another proposal to impose residential parking restrictions, it makes one wonder whether station car park users gain much benefit?
