Stoneleigh and Auriol Residents’ Association (SARA) have been at the heart of our community for over 80 years. We have a proud history of shaping our community and making it a better place to live and work and to create a safe and secure environment for those who reside here.

There are currently plans to build a seven-storey block of flats containing 23 apartments, in the middle of three and four-bedroom 1930 two storey houses, in Station Approach, Stoneleigh. Epsom and Ewell Borough Council have actively encouraged the developer to increase the size of their original build as part of a new strategy adopted by the council to ‘talk up’ planning applications to meet Government targets.

If we don’t contest this development and the councils new planning strategy then it will set a dangerous precedent for more inappropriate expansions of this type to be built across the whole of Epsom and Ewell and this will change the face of our borough forever. SARA is not prepared to let that happen.

By working together we can make a real difference in stopping these inappropriate developments.
