Taylor Wimpey completed the purchase of the former Wisley Airfield site in March 2020. We have been working closely with local residents and stakeholders to shape our plans for this new community, and are grateful for the time the community has spent taking part in consultations, community groups and providing feedback and comments.
This website is home to information about our plans so far, including our consultation events (Chapter One and Chapter Two), Design Review Panels, current emerging masterplan, and Community Liaison Group.
Taylor Wimpey is pleased to launch the third and final chapter of our community consultation for the Former Wisley Airfield and hope that you will be able to join us.
Our third series of online community consultation events will take place on two different days to allow everyone to attend. These dates will be Wednesday 19th May 2021 between 6pm – 8pm & Saturday 22nd May 2021 between 10am – 12pm.
