Role and Purpose
To provide the planning framework for the enhancement of the Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) in the Hogsmill Valley including the Hogsmill Sewage Works and its surrounding land, the Kingsmeadow area and neighbouring sites. The AAP will consider the potential options available to enhance this underused area, much of it brownfield land, and identify appropriate uses. This wide northerly part of the Hogsmill Valley MOL is subject to development pressures, e.g. for student housing on a disused part of the Hogsmill sewage works and new leisure facilities at Kingsmeadow sports ground. An important aim of the AAP will be progressing the implementation of the Hogsmill Valley Walk Strategy.
