Planning application live - now is the time to object

The application for up to 250 new homes is now live on the Elmbridge Planning Portal. We need as many objections as possible to show the council the residents of Oxshott believe this development is not suitable, sustainable or necessary, and would damage Oxshott's character, erode vital Green Belt, and make life worse for both existing and future residents.

Dear Planning Officer,

I strongly object to the proposed development of up to 250 homes at Clouds Hill Farm, Oxshott. This site lies within the Green Belt, whose purpose is to prevent urban sprawl and protect open land. National policy makes clear that brownfield sites must be prioritised before Green Belt land can even be considered, meaning there are no “very special circumstances” to justify this application. Once Green Belt is lost, it is lost forever.

The development would also place unsustainable pressure on our community and is not sustainable. Leatherhead Road is already heavily congested, with more cars bringing greater delays, air pollution, and risks to road safety. Local schools are oversubscribed, GP services overstretched, and public transport links are extremely limited. At 1.6 miles from the station, most residents would rely on cars, creating even more traffic at peak hours. Furthermore, there is no contiguous pavement from the proposed site to the Village for pedestrians or safe routes for cyclists to use. This proposal is unsustainable and unnecessary. It would damage Oxshott’s character, erode vital Green Belt land, and make life worse for both existing and future residents. I urge you to reject this application.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]
