What is the democratic mandate for building more homes here?

​Why do we need more homes in the Tandridge District?

Will more small homes and bungalows be provided to help older residents downsize?

How much affordable housing will be provided and what types of affordable housing are planned?

How can we stop development on Green Belt land when there is already pressure on infrastructure?

What factors are considered before Green Belt land is released for development and how will exceptional circumstances be demonstrated?

What is the Council’s approach to Grey Belt land?

Can we designate a new National Landscape to add further protection to the Green Belt in Tandridge and surrounding areas?

How can major developments proceed when road infrastructure is already under pressure?​

​How can large developments be considered when previous proposals have raised concerns about capacity at nearby M25 junctions?​

​How will schools, healthcare, utilities and other infrastructure be delivered alongside new development?​

What assessments are carried out before sites are allocated?​

How were sites identified in the first place and does inclusion in the consultation mean site will definitely be allocated for development?​

WAR011 and WAR012 (Chelsham Road)​: How are the potential impacts of these two sites being assessed, particularly in relation to traffic and highway capacity on Chelsham Road?​

BLE004 Bletchingley​: Why is this site currently being considered and how are issues such as flooding, wildlife habitats, access and heritage assets being taken into account?​ What conclusions have been reached so far regarding its suitability for development?​

​Stansted Road / Beech Grove, Caterham​:Why is this site being considered when previous proposals identified constraints such as contamination and infrastructure considerations?​

​If homes are built at Redhill Aerodrome, how will healthcare services, the road network, existing communities, flood risk, school provision and other infrastructure cope with the increased demand in this area? ​

If new Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs) policies are introduced, how would they apply to existing HMOs and future proposals?​

Would the Council consider providing or supporting additional parking facilities for residents living in flats and HMOs?

How can parking pressures on residential streets be addressed where higher-density housing results in increased car ownership?

Will all information, including site plans for each area of the district, be available at consultation events? ​

Why are current planning permissions not being shown on plans and maps as part of the consultation? ​

If there are multiple adult residents in one household, should we submit individual objections of one response for everyone?​

How did you decide where to hold consultation events?​

Will residents have an opportunity to comment on future Green Belt and Settlement Hierarchy assessments?​

Why did the consultation start in July and why is it running for six weeks and can it be extended?​
