Planning committee
Decided by Tandridge Planning Committee on 4 Jun 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the single-placement home would retain a domestic character without significant harm to neighbours, highways or the Green Belt.
- The committee approved refusal motions and refused planning permission because access, sustainability and operational impacts were not demonstrated to be acceptable.

Site constraints 7
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.
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
1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; National landscape about 420 m away: Surrey Hills; Inside the Woldingham Garden Village built-up area; Priority habitat about 25 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.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
Checked on 11 September 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
