The government has ordered Elmbridge Council to prepare plans to permit 9,000 new homes to be built in the borough. Elmbridge has tabled its consultation proposal for comment, by 4 pm on Friday 24 February.The Council proposal is available at Elmbridge Borough Council Consultations – Strategic Options Consultation – Consultation Homepage.In summary, the Report proposes as the preferred option, major housing development on three large sites bordering Cobham, Oxshott and Fairmile . Residents of those communities have objected in large numbers to those proposals.The Report also identifies a number of secondary sites for release and development, including greenbelt land on Queen’s Road bordering Burwood Park. Given the large numbers of objections on the other main sites, at least one one councillor has noted that the Queens Road sites are now his preferred option.Don’t lets risk losing this corridor of green. It’s a vital element of the local visual amenity, and it’s loss would be tragic.
