Kingston Council faces criticism for delaying a local plan update, leaving green belts vulnerable and infrastructure inadequate. Despite promising an update by late 2021 or early 2022, the council, led by Lib Dems, has not delivered, causing a legal tilt towards approving sustainable development. Conservatives in Kingston and Surbiton accuse the council of incompetence, citing successful developer appeals on projects like 586 homes in Motspur Park and 256 in Chessington. The council blames national policy shifts for the delay, with a final draft planned for summer 2023 and submission to inspectors by the end of the year, aiming for adoption in 2024. However, with local elections in May, residents want the draft out soon to make informed decisions.
