Residents have raised concerns about the Motspur Park Gasholders site development, for which a planning application was submitted in October 2025.

Raynes Park residents raised concerns in November 2025 about the proposed Motspur Park Gasholders site development, citing potential impacts on local amenities and green spaces. The issue was discussed at a Raynes Park Community Forum meeting in October 2025, where Councillor John Oliver informed attendees that the planning application had been submitted to Merton and Kingston Councils for review.

The proposed development, which envisions a five-block building with 586 dwellings and 90 parking spaces, is currently undergoing a review process by both councils. Residents have questioned its effect on the surrounding area. No further council meetings or decisions regarding the application are currently scheduled.
