EXTENDING PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS CONSULTATION - YOUR PARISH COUNCIL RESPONSE

The Government has been consulting on various relaxations of the Permitted Development regulations that would allow the construction of home extensions measuring up to double the current size limits. Extensions of up to 8 metres would be allowed without the need to get planning permission - or even tell the neighbours! The Parish Council finds this unacceptable. For some time we have been campaigning for removal of anomalies in the current regulations and for their disapplication to the Green Belt. The new proposals would greatly increase the threat to the Green Belt around Woldingham. They would also be a big potential threat to the character of the urban part of the village. The claimed economic benefit has been widely challenged. We have issued leaflets encouraging residents to lodge objections to the DCLG online consultation by the response deadline of 24th December and/or to write as soon as possible to Sam Gymah MP, at the House of Commons. Please feel free to quote our arguments if you wish.

PLANNING

Reviewing planning applications is one of our major activities. To help preserve the character of the Village the Parish Council produced a Village Design Statement (VDS) that has been adopted by Tandridge District Council. Compliance with it ensures that our village maintains its unique desirable character, non-compliance is likely to lead to a failed planning application.
