Taylor Wimpey will hand over around £3.2m in contributions towards improving the infrastructure around its latest development in Dorking, due to launch this spring.
Sondes Meadows is a community of high quality houses and apartments coming soon to Westcott Road. As part of the contributions agreed under the planning consent for the development, Taylor Wimpey has pledged the following sums towards various infrastructure improvements:
Community infrastructure levy of around £3m, to be allocated to specific projects by the relevant local authorities
Approximately £182,000 towards local highways and transport improvements
Sondes Meadows will comprise 144 two to five-bedroom homes and one and two-bedroom apartments, set within landscaped green space with cycle paths and play areas integrated through the development. All homes will feature triple glazing, EV charging ports, water-saving systems and energy-efficient appliances.
Leon McGinty, Acting Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey South Thames, said: “We aim to leave a lasting positive impact in every community where we build, and these significant contributions are just the start. The community infrastructure levy money is there for local authorities to put towards key infrastructure projects and local services, and our highways funding should make the local road network better for everyone.
“We’ll also be supporting a range of community projects in Dorking and the surrounding area, and we’d encourage anyone that would benefit from our support to get in touch.”
