Kew Retail Park Community Planning Weekend

On Friday 24 June and Saturday 25 June 2022 the local community was invited by JTP, on behalf of St George and Marks & Spencer, to the Kew Retail Park Community Planning Weekend to help shape the Vision for the future redevelopment of the site.

The National Archives, Bessant Drive, Kew TW9 4DU
Friday 24 June 2022, 1.45pm - 5.30pm
Saturday 25 June 2022, 11.15am - 4.00pm

The Community Planning Weekend was organised by architects JTP and was a chance to share local knowledge and contribute to creating a new Vision through facilitated workshops and hands-on planning groups on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 June at The National Archives.

Participation was on a drop-in basis with no need to pre-register – people could stay for a short while, a few hours or the whole event. JTP team members were on hand to answer any questions.

In the run up to the Community Planning Weekend, people gave their initial views about the Kew Retail Park site and its relationship with the neighbouring areas via the Create Communities interactive map. The deadline for views has now passed but you can see the comments people posted on the map here.

Following the public workshop days, the JTP-led team analysed and summarised the outcomes to draw up a Vision for Kew Retail Park, including an illustrative Vision masterplan which was presented back to the local community on the evening of Tuesday 5 July at The National Archives.

Background
Kew Retail Park is an important site in Kew and is jointly owned by St George and Marks & Spencer. The site has been allocated in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames draft Local Plan for comprehensive residential-led, mixed-use development. The redevelopment of the retail park provides an opportunity to bring forward high-quality new homes, replacement retail, and local amenities, as well as improved public realm and connections through the site.
