Views wanted on policies to guide future growth of borough
Workshops are being held across Richmond upon Thames during June where residents and businesses can tell the Council how they would like to the borough to look in the coming years.
Richmond Council is currently producing a Local Development Framework, which includes guidance on what types of developments should be approved or refused to ensure high standards are maintained in the borough.
This consultation is to help prepare detailed policies to manage development, following the adoption of the Council’s Core Strategy which sets out the framework to guide where new housing, employment, shops, leisure and community facilities will go, and what open land will be protected.
The current workshops and discussion topics are:
- Biodiversity, open land, the River Thames and other open uses (including sport and recreation) - Tuesday, June 16: in Twickenham.
- Whitton Town Centre - Thursday, June 18: in Whitton.
- Flooding - Tuesday, June 23 in Twickenham.
- East Sheen Town Centre - Thursday, June 25 in East Sheen.
- Teddington Town Centre - Tuesday, June 30 in Teddington.
Consultation documents will be available on our Local Development Framework pages or from the environment reception in the Civic Centre in Twickenham shortly before each meeting, so interested people can read them in advance.
Workshops take place in the evenings, to reserve a place, email ldfconsultation@richmond.gov.uk or phone Evie Bissell on 020 8891 7322. Anyone wishing to attend a workshop will need to register at least a day before the meeting.
