Update: Please Note the Consultation closed on the 29 Nov 2013

We are very concerned about what is contained in a Consultation Document produced by Guildford Borough Council for formulating a Local Plan. To place this in context, the Borough boundary is less than 2 miles from Cobham and adjoins Downside and Hatchford.

The disused Wisley Airfield is in Green Belt land and just 2 miles from Cobham. What is suggested is building 2175 houses on 167 hectares and goes further in envisaging with a new settlement, all the infrastructure required. There are spill overs into Ockham and East and West Horsley. Objections must be in by the end of the month and we shall be objecting vigorously.

You can respond to the Consultation if you have any connection with the Borough, including, for example, using it for any leisure purpose.

You can write a letter to:

Planning Policy, Guildford Borough Council, Millmead House, Millmead, Guildford GU2 4BB

There is a questionnaire that can be filled out online, but some questions appear to be loaded and any respondent must be wary. There is a website set up by activists wanting to save the Green Belt within Guildford Borough which can be found at: www.surreygreenbelt.org
