A decision is awaited on the planning appeal by developers Cala Homes against Tandridge District Council’s refusal of planning permission for 116 dwellings on land at the back of Chichele Road.
The Inquiry was held for 7 days in September and October and was carried out by a government Planning Inspector.
The planning application (number 2023/1345) was refused by the council in February this year. The land is Green Belt with Ancient Woodland and is also being proposed for inclusion in the new expanded Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (National Landscape).
Oxted & Limpsfield Residents Group and Oxted Parish Council joined together to take part in the Inquiry as a “Rule 6” party which gave us similar status to the appellant and the Council. We were represented by a planning barrister.
The Inquiry was live streamed and the recordings can be seen on the Council's website. To view them click here
