This was subsequently varied (MO/2021/0690) to remove the requirement to provide temporary car parking on the disused tennis courts at the Leatherhead Leisure Centre site and to accommodate contractor car parking in Randalls Road car park).
A new specialist developer has been identified for Claire House and James House after the previously appointed developer was unable to fulfil its commitment to the project. A full in-depth review of all options for the site was carried out, which led to the revised choice of developer, now approved by the MVDC Cabinet.
The process of due diligence will now start, and further details will follow in due course once the legal process is complete.
