Our Housing Developments Around Hersham tracker has been updated and rechecked as at September 2026.

The current local pipeline now stands at around 1,420 homes and units across nine sites in and around the village. That is separate from the 671 homes already delivered at the former Birds Eye and former Rydens School sites, which are shown on the map for context but not added to the total.

These nine sites make up the c.1,420 figure. Delivered schemes, nearby sites outside Hersham and early emerging sites are listed separately on the tracker page.

Total: c.1,420 homes and units. That is 400 + 284 + 262 + 190 + 82 + 62 + 40 + 23 + 77.

A separate associated application, 2026/1936, covers a temporary access road and parking at Field Common Lane for up to five years. It is an access and traffic matter and is not counted as housing. Figures reflect the position on 16 September 2026; the tracker page is kept current.

What has changed since the last update

  • Fairview, Land East of Molesey Road now has a full planning application, reference 2026/1718, for 284 homes. This supersedes the earlier EIA screening reference 2026/0671, which referred to up to 280 dwellings. A separate associated application, 2026/1936, covers a temporary access road and parking at Field Common Lane for up to five years. That is an access and traffic matter and is not counted as housing.
  • Burhill Kennels, Turners Lane now has a live outline planning application, reference 2026/1902, for up to 82 homes. This covers demolition of the existing buildings, access from Turners Lane, public open space and landscaping, with all matters reserved apart from access. This is the one on the list residents can comment on right now.
  • Hersham Place Technology Park is confirmed at 262 homes under 2025/2530.
  • Whiteley Village is now carried at 77 homes and included in the total, having previously been listed as to be confirmed.
  • Weylands Treatment Works now shows its later variations, 2025/3115 and 2025/3337, alongside the original 2022/3427.
  • Chippings Farm / Fairmile in Cobham now carries reference 2026/1891.

Pleasant Place has come up as a possible site of around 40 homes. No major application has been identified, so it is deliberately excluded from the total and is not shown on the map until there is something firm to point to.

Moore Place in Esher and Chippings Farm in Cobham sit outside Hersham. They appear on the map in purple because they draw on the same roads, schools and health services, but they are not counted in the 1,420.

Each site is counted once. Where a scheme has been revised, the current proposal replaces the earlier figure rather than being added to it. The Hersham Golf Club site is a good example: the current proposal is around 400 homes and the earlier approved 221-home scheme is not counted separately.

You can see every site, its status and its planning reference, along with the full tables of delivered and nearby schemes, on the tracker page:

Figures and statuses change as applications progress. We will post again when they do.
