The group seeking to promote and protect the country's historic environment has joined calls for new plans for a controversial site opposite Hampton Court Palace to be rejected by planners.
Last year a proposal for a riverside hotel, refurbished station building, 61 apartments, five mews houses and a new care home for the Royal Star and Garter Homes charity was submitted for the area around Hampton Court Station, known as the Jolly Boatman site, which has been derelict for more than 20 years.
English Heritage has now thrown its weight behind opponents including the Hampton Court Rescue Campaign (HCRC), founded to fight off previous proposals for the site.
