Acre Road Revised Proposals
Overview
Kingston Council has been working with community stakeholders, internal colleagues and a design team to bring forward proposals to redevelop the former care home on Acre Road, Murray House, to provide genuinely affordable housing, at council rent levels, for Kingston’s older residents and those with learning disabilities.
Thank you to all of those who have provided their thoughts and comments so far. Following on from our last round of engagement in October/November 2023, we have made a number of changes to the scheme based on community feedback.
This includes reducing the height, scale and massing of the scheme overall, removing the potential for overlooking windows, increasing the trees and planting and introducing a line of three bungalows to the rear of the site to meet both our aspirations and policy for fully adapted wheelchair homes. A material palette has also been developed to reflect the existing character and appearance of the neighbourhood.
Further detailed information on the project and what has changed can be viewed here.
To view the revised design in more detail and discuss with members of the project team, we would like to invite you to one of our upcoming public exhibitions:
- Saturday 11th May; 11am – 3pm
- Monday 13th May; 5pm – 7pm
Both events will be taking place at Cornerstone Church Kingston, 243a Canbury Park Road, KT26LF.
Why your views matter
The feedback we recieve will help us to shape the final proposals for Acre Road as we look to submit a plannig application in Summer 2024.
