Christmas tree farm at Riverhill Yard

1 story · 1 council

Kingston upon Thames Council has approved plans for a Christmas tree farm at Riverhill Yard despite resident concerns.

Kingston upon Thames Council's Planning Committee approved plans for a Christmas tree nursery at Riverhill Yard in September 2026. The decision allows for the use of the land for the nursery, including a modular office, storage containers, and poly tunnels. The application was partly retrospective, with some elements already in place.

This approval came despite concerns raised by residents and a neighbouring councillor regarding potential issues such as traffic, noise, and light pollution. The site at Riverhill Yard, Worcester Park, will host the modular buildings and storage structures for the farm.
