A spokesperson for Poppymill Ltd said the project team had “consulted extensively” on the scheme and looked at how it would “benefit the wider community, not hinder it”.
They said of the more than 2,000 planned homes, a third would be family-sized and 50% earmarked as affordable.
They added there would be new access on the Kingston Bypass to draw traffic away from Clayton Road as well as investment in the transport network surrounding the site.
Because of the location, planning documents have been submitted to both of the borough councils in Elmbridge and Kingston.
An Elmbridge council spokesperson said they appreciated the application would raise concerns among residents regarding traffic and services including schools and GP places.
“We will be scrutinising the plans in detail and considering the comments received from our community,” they added.
A spokesperson for Kingston Council said each application was judged on its own merits in line with the national and council policies.
