Rainbow Ind Estate - New Plans

Some Background

Some of our members may recall that, when the Rainbow Industrial Estate was owned by Workspace, the company obtained planning permission to redevelop the site.

This industrial estate is located between the railway lines, adjacent to the south-west side of Raynes Park Station. Its access is down a private road at the junction of Grand Drive and Approach Road. (SW20 0JY).

These planning permissions were:

14/P4287 for a mixed-use redevelopment of the industrial estate comprising 224 residential units and 37,000 sq. ft. of new light industrial space, and,

14/P4288 for a “Kiss and Ride” drop-off and pick-up area on the south side of the Station

Although the scopes of these two planning approvals have been partially built, neither has been completed.

On the 8 November 2024, Workspace announced it had sold the partially redeveloped site.

April 2025 - New Plans

Some members have recently received a notice from the new owners that they intend to submit a new planning application, for which a public consultation is running from 22 April 2025 to 6 May 2025.
