Early work can now begin on the largest development in Kingston for fifty years, after the council approved a 950-home development on the Tolworth Toby Jug site by the A3.

Councillors have secretly voted to withdraw their reasons for refusal for an application on Tolworth’s Toby Jug site that could see the “thumbs up” for more than 700 homes built next to the A3.

Meyer Bergman wants to increase the planned number of homes for the Toby Jug site in Tolworth when it submits its application for re-development.

An outline planning application for 705 new homes in Tolworth has been refused, five votes to six.

European Investment firm Meyer Bergman presented their proposals to build 705 homes in the Toby Jug site in Hook Rise South near Tolworth station, as well as a doctors surgery, nursery, convenience store and 356 car parking spaces.
