The council claims the developer’s promise to turn council-owned land into public space is impossible since they don’t control it. The proposed “Kew Village” includes 200 homes and retail, set to begin construction next year. While the government pushes for housing in areas like Kew, the council wants the project scaled down, better landscaped, and aligned with local character — claims they say were ignored. The case now heads to the Supreme Court, potentially reshaping how major developments are approved and how councils can challenge state decisions.
