Castlemere Developments has unveiled plans to deliver a 82-home development in Hersham, Surrey.
The Burhill Meadows scheme will be built on a five-hectare grey belt site and provide improved transportation and an enhanced public space featuring wildflower meadows, play equipment and woodland walks.
The development will comprise a range of one- and two-bedroom apartments, 38 of which will be designated affordable, and two-, three- and four-bedroom houses. The affordable housing will comprise a mix of rental and shared ownership options and Castlemere Developments expects to partner with a housing association to oversee these.
The Windsor-based company is expected to submit a planning application for the development this month with construction poised to begin within 12 months, subject to planning approval.
The site is currently home to Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare and as part of the planning agreement, Castlemere Developments is committed to securing suitable new premises for the greyhound charity.
Duncan Cooke, director at Castlemere Developments said: “Burhill Meadows will be our most ambitious project to date. It will deliver modern and sustainable homes, as well as providing much-needed affordable housing. It will bring improved transportation, drainage and create open spaces for the whole community. We anticipate submitting the plans for the site in the next two to four weeks.
“We are also very aware that a development of this nature can cause concern and disruption and we are doing our utmost to ensure this is limited. One of these includes the Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare, which has done incredible work for a century. We have discussed the plans with them and as a responsible developer we are committed to supporting them with a new site to enable them to continue to care and house the greyhounds.”
