BACKGROUND TO THE CASE AGAINST

click for the Planning Application

The high density development would dominate and destroy the character of Tadworth village. Churchill Retirement Living will be held responsible for “putting the first nail in the coffin”.

The prolonged construction period and consequent parking problems caused by your development would threaten the economic viability of our shops.

Bringing more elderly people into Tadworth village would change the balance of the community – we urgently need more small houses for young families.

1-9 Cross Road, Tadworth

Churchill are offering future residents of their development:

A noisy congested site with unproven and inadequate transport links.

No parking in the vicinity for visitors such as relative or health carers.

Possible future problems with water shortages, following the 2006 drought order,  leading to the use of standpipes

Problems with local health care with overstretched GPs and cuts in local hospitals which could lead to a seriously ill resident being transferred to Brighton as the nearest critical care hospital.

Churchill Retirement Living failed to be persuaded by our arguments and request to cut their losses and withdraw their application.

The fight will continue with the overwhelming support of the residents of Tadworth Village.
