The Kew Retail Park in Richmond, sold partially to the Berkeley Group in 2021, had redevelopment plans approved in 2022 to create housing and shops. However, uncertainty has arisen as no planning application has been submitted since then, despite local support for transforming the site. The developerâs recent update confirmed plans to retain the site as a retail investment for the foreseeable future, frustrating community interest in new homes and green spaceâpriorities identified during consultations with residents.
"Many people recognised that the single-storey, single-use retail park and surface car park is an inefficient and unattractive use of this valuable site."
"The planning application to redevelop the site was expected to be submitted in summer 2023, but has yet to be filed, leading to uncertainty on the project."
