Hook Park is designed as a family-friendly, multi-generational neighbourhood — a place where people can live, work, and spend time outdoors. Its structure is shaped around a new central park, local centre and a connected network of pedestrian and cycle routes.

Design and Character
• Mansion blocks of five to eight storeys, stepping down toward existing homes.
• Private and shared courtyards for residents.
• Streets designed for people first, with play areas, greenery and places to meet neighbours.
• Retention of existing trees, hedgerows and watercourses integrated into new open space.
• Lower-rise housing, key worker homes and a care home along the southern edge near Clayton Road.
Green Space and the New Park
• Over 20 acres of green space delivered, including an 8.4-acre park (around five football pitches in size).
• The park will be created in the first phase of development and gifted to the community in perpetuity.
• A playground will be designed in consultation with residents.
• The site will become one of Chessington’s largest accessible open spaces.
