BURHILL KENNELS UNDER THREAT
Turners Lane
Hersham Hounds – Turners Lane
A planning case has been submitted to Elmbridge Council concerning the redevelopment of land at Burhill Kennels in Hersham.
Our last post explains more regarding this development https://hershamvillage.co.uk/positively-hersham-burwood-road-and-turners-lane/
Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare say this relates to an Environmental Impact Assessment screening request linked to the potential demolition of the existing kennels and the construction of a housing scheme.
Burhill Kennels is not just a piece of land. It is a sanctuary where retired racing greyhounds arrive frightened, uncertain, and exhausted — and learn that their next chapter can be kind.
If redevelopment proceeds, that sanctuary could be lost. The video explains what’s happening and why it matters.
