Longacres Garden Centre in Bagshot have been accused of threatening businesses in surrounding villages. Richard Wilson of the Windlesham Labour Party was speaking against Longacres application to expand the size of an existing conservatory.

The new, larger conservatory building would be used as a show house for selling smaller conservatories.

Richard Wilson said “In Windlesham we used to have a florist. It closed down in January. The village food store used to have twice the floor space it now has. We still have a butcher’s shop but Longacres have recently opened one of these too. Village centres are being hollowed out by unplanned growth at this site.”

Conservative Ken Pedder added "I voted against the last application and I'll vote against this one for the same reason". The application by Longacres was approved even though there were significant local objections.

Rick De Kerckhove of Longacres said "This is the way a lot of garden centres are going. We don’t want to be losing customers to Esher or Fleet where there are other garden centres".

Longacres won the planning application with ten votes to six. Read our review of Longacres Garden Centre here.
