The Group
The Sandy Lane Site Action Group was formed in 2004 to fight an application from Linden Homes to build a massive development on the ex-Seeboard site in Sandy Lane, Teddington. See Map. After lengthy negotiations with us and other parties, Linden submitted a more reasonable and well-designed scheme. The new application was approved by Richmond Council in November 2005, helped by support from us and other groups. Galliford Try bought Linden in 2007 and announced plans for a new and bigger application. SLSAG has re-formed to fight this.
