NUTFIELD CONSERVATION SOCIETY OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED GARDEN VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT ON REDHILL AERODROME GREENBELT
This planned development will create a huge estate and cause urban spread from South Nutfield west towards Redhill and south towards Horley.
A number of obstacles involved with the consideration of Redhill Aerodrome as a
‘Garden Village’ site have been identified by Tandridge District Council (TDC)
which make the potential delivery dates unrealistic within the 2033 timescale
applicable to their Local Plan.
TDC have expressed in their Garden Village Consultation concerns that “…..development would not commence within a timeframe that could suitably contribute to meeting any of TDC needs for the
plan period which would be an unsound approach and highly challenged…..”
The
site has performed a valuable purpose as a local aerodrome since 1930 and is an
important strategic employment location within Tandridge district.
The area involved is critical Green Belt (as accepted in the 2014 Public Enquiry) and this inappropriate housing proposal would breach a number of protections afforded under the National Policy Planning Framework (NPPF).
