Thursday 9 March 2017, 8 pm Kenneth Wood, Molesey Architect ‘A Modernist in Suburbia’ Talk by Dr Fiona Fisher Hurst Park School, Hurst Road, KT8 1QS Kenneth Wood trained at the Polytechnic School of Architecture in Regent Street and worked for Eric Lyons before establishing his architectural and design practice at East Molesey in 1955. His work was published and exhibited in Britain and internationally in the 1950s and 1960s and was critically well-received at that time. Projects from that period include street improvement schemes, church halls and church extensions around Kingston upon Thames and in North London, a village centre at Oxshott, a youth club and a school at Kingston, and a new district headquarters for the Forestry Commission at Santon Downham in Suffolk. Wood’s firm became best known for the design of private houses in the modern style, most of which were completed in Surrey. Dr Fiona Fisher is curator of Kingston University's Dorich House Museum, the former studio home of the sculptor Dora Gordine and her husband, the Hon. Richard Hare, a scholar of Russian art and literature.

From: Paul Griffiths (Director) To: M25 Junction 10 Cc: Wade, Jonathan; Subject: Deadline 7 Response - Painshill Park Trust Date: 17 April 2020 16:08:40 Attachments: image001.png image002.png Painshill Park Trust. Post Hearing Submission Statement at Deadline 6.docx Dear Planning Inspectorate, Please find below an email response for the Chairman of the Painshill Park Trust – Richard Reay-Smith as our submission for Deadline 7. Attached is the letter we submitted as deadline 6 as it is referred to in Richard’s email. With best wishes Paul Dear Sirs, At the Compulsory Acquisition Hearing scheduled for the 24th March, Painshill Park Trust intended to make it clear that it was not prepared voluntarily to offer any of its Grade 1 Registered land to permit access to be taken off the Painshill Roundabout slip-road. The land is needed to permit a new access track to properties to the north of Painshill Park. Highways England have been advised of this decision and the reasons for it on a number of occasions and most recently in the attached letter dated 19th March, 2020. Previously the Trustees had agreed to make this land available, despite it’s being part of the historic landscape, because Highways England had agreed to extend the track to provide a replacement to the existing western entrance to Painshill. Highways England have now unilaterally reneged on that agreement. The Trustees do not therefore feel justified in giving up Grade 1 land. The need for a replacement for the existing western entrance to ensure the preservation of one of the foremost remaining examples of an 18th Century English landscape garden has been fully explained to the Examining Authority in previous submissions.
