Elmbridge approves 74 new homes in Molesey
Elmbridge Borough Council has approved plans for 74 new homes near the River Ember in Molesey. The development will include a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses, with 20 designated as affordable housing. The decision comes despite 300 objections from the public. Some council members expressed concerns about the project's size, while others emphasized the need for more housing in the area. The development will require the demolition of seven existing buildings, which were previously used for residential and daycare services for individuals with learning difficulties.
