Dear supporters,
Thank you for backing the campaign for a proper green space at Brooklands Park.
Crest Nicholson has now released its draft plan for the site (see here). While it includes a MUGA and reintroduces a nursery (previously under separate planning application), it also includes up to 50 houses and allocates only a very small green area. Therefore it fails far short of what this petition calls for.
The developer is currently collecting feedback as they prepare their planning application. This is a crucial moment. Your voice matters.

If you can, do both — attend on the 19th and complete the online form.
Key points you may wish to Include
- The land was from the start designated for community use only — with zero residential buildings — as per the original 2006 plan.
- We want a high-quality MUGA:
- Minimum size 20m x 40m
- Located next to the community centre for combined indoor/outdoor activity
- Positioned next to the green space so families can easily use both
- Designed with input from local young people - We need a significantly larger green space that functions as a true community park — suitable for gatherings, picnics, informal sports, walks, and connection with nature. The current proposal is far too small.
- We request three separate planning applications:
I. Nursery – long promised and should proceed quickly
II. MUGA – co-designed with residents, including youth
III. Green Space – shaped with input from wider resident groups and aligned with green-space policy.
Thank you for your continued support! Your input now can directly influence the future of this space.
Let’s make sure our community’s needs are heard.
