Planning committee

Decided by Tandridge Planning Committee on 2 Jul 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the changes would not cause materially greater Green Belt harm and would be acceptable in design and residential amenity terms.
  • The parish council and other respondents raised concerns about Green Belt impact, character, overdevelopment, trees, overlooking and residential amenity.
  • The committee voted to refuse because it found greater Green Belt harm and unacceptable overlooking of a neighbouring dwelling.

Site constraints 8

Green belt: London
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.
Read the government guidance ↗
Public bridleway about 13 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Habitat network: Ancient Semi Natural Woodland
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Tree preservation order about 5 m away: Land north of Woldingham Garden Village Woldingham PREVIOUSLY 193 TAN; Inside the Woldingham built-up area; Priority habitat about 18 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
