Plans to build a care home on playing fields in Ewell Village are being altered following consultation with local residents.
Nonsuch Abbeyfield initially came forward with the plans in November 2013, proposing to build 60-unit sheltered housing with 24-hour care on 2.6 acres of the fields on Old Schools Lane.
Following an outcry from members of the public, the plans have been under review, with more research going into the problems with traffic management and sports facilities.
Chairman Graham Walker said: "We're finalising the plans and the analysis at the moment and we're hoping for much more positive reaction this time around.
"We've done more research and we think the proposed sports fields will be a credit to the borough."
The new plans will be unveiled at the weekend and there will be a further public meeting on Wednesday, February 26 at Bourne Hall in Ewell at 6pm.
They will also be on the organisation's website www.nonsuchabbeyfield.org.
