Planning committee
Decided by Tandridge Planning Committee on 5 Feb 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the seven homes would be acceptable in Green Belt terms and raise no other refusal issues.
- Residents objected over Green Belt harm, traffic, wildlife, drainage, infrastructure, sustainability, construction impacts and the loss of a mature oak tree.
- The committee accepted refusal motions and refused planning permission.

Site constraints 4
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.
Also on the record
Inside the Blindley Heath built-up area; Priority habitat about 33 m away: No main habitat but additional habitats present; 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.

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
Checked on 15 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. 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.
