Planning committee

Decided by Waverley Planning Committee on 13 May 2026. Earlier deferred on 25 Mar 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because the detailed scheme was acceptable and would deliver housing, including affordable homes.
Objectors raised concerns about hedgerows, parking, drainage, biodiversity, traffic, infrastructure, privacy and the development’s scale.
The committee voted unanimously to grant permission with two additional conditions covering planting and odour monitoring.

Documents 1

Site constraints 3

Agricultural land, grade 3b

Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s), which most planning maps still show, had this area as grade 4. The predicted grade is Defra's current estimate; only a site survey settles it.

Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Also on the record

National landscape 305 m away: Surrey Hills.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 25 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
