Planning application image

Park Lane development update

A Reserved Matters planning application (253071) has now been submitted for land to the west of Park Lane, Charvil. This is the next stage following the outline planning permission and focuses on the detailed design and layout of the development.

A public meeting was held on Monday 13 July to provide residents with an update on the application. The meeting provided an opportunity to explain the planning process, outline the progress made so far, and discuss how the proposals have developed since the original outline permission was granted.

The slides from the public meeting are available here: Park Lane development meeting presentation slides.

The discussion covered:

  • The different stages of the planning application process and where the current Reserved Matters application sits
  • Progress made on the proposals and what has happened so far
  • How the plans seek to align with the Charvil Neighbourhood Plan
  • The potential wider benefits associated with the development, including play facilities, youth facilities and allotments
  • An overview of the updated proposals and site layout.

There is still time to share your views with Charvil Parish Council before the deadline on 26 July 2026. Any feedback received will help inform the Parish Council’s response to the application.

Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting and took the time to share their views.
