The whole community must be made aware that the application for the Hersham Centre redevelopment is likely to be submitted in the very near future.
This redevelopment could be a DISASTER for our village.
The latest known proposals:
Waitrose car park will be developed into residential blocks – up to 6 storeys high, with inadequate car parking
Permanent loss of 50% of the parking capacity which will be grossly inadequate for current users, including local businesses, Burhill School, Doctors Surgery and Waitrose
Loss of 50% of the retail units in the Centre
This means that:
The future of Waitrose is uncertain
Local shops and businesses are at risk, with possible catastrophic outcomes
The consequences for all residents will be irreversible
The heart of your village will be lost forever
When the planning application is registered, time will be critical.
There will only be about 3 weeks to lodge an objection.
EVERYBODY must make an individual objection. Block or group objections will only count as one Details of how to object will follow…
When the time comes, it is vital that everybody registers an individual objection
At this point, Hersham should be proud.
We have made our views known loud and clear, without rancour and always relying on facts and reference to planning policy.
