KKG – Document 51

Dear Neighbour

The master plan? Did they or didn’t they know?

In November last year, Spelthorne Council replied to a question from a resident in the following terms:

“… I am advised that at none of these meetings has any plan whatsoever been developed for the scale of housing that you allude to …”

Six months later the Council said the following:

“As I said earlier, the Council has never seen any plans from the Jockey Club for any of the proposals.”

But see Document 51, attached, which is just a small selection of the myriad emails which have gone backwards and forwards over months and years, setting up meetings to discuss the development plans for Kempton Park. Note the references to “master plan”, “high level programme timescale”, “the whole range of practical development issues” and “detailed technical aspects”.

So far we know of meetings on the following dates:
