Core Strategy

Core Strategy Documents

The Tandridge District Core Strategy was adopted by the Council in October 2008. It sets out key planning policies for the District and has superseded parts of the Tandridge District Local Plan 2001. However it should be read in conjunction with the saved policies in the Local Plan.

The Core Strategy is available here as a PDF document, alternatively an on-line version is available on the Tandridge planning policy portal (Core Strategy) This link will open in a new window (This link will open in a new window).

You can view our online Planning Policy Maps This link will open in a new window (This link will open in a new window) with links to the Core Strategy text and saved Local Plan text.

Other information on the saved Local Plan is available on the Local Plan page.

The Tandridge Core Strategy Examination Inspector's Report is available here.

Green Belt Settlements

For current information (as from November 2009) on the situation with regard to the Green Belt Settlements see the Green Beltpage. Please note that the Council is now reviewing the Green Belt Settlements and a publication consultation was carried out from 28 January until 11 March 2011. The final stage of the review will be included within the draft Development Management Policies development plan document.

Residential Garden Land Development

In June 2010 the Council issued informal guidance on its approach to Development of residential garden land - June 2010 following changes to the national guidance contained in PPS3. In March 2012 the Government published the National Planning Policy Framework This link will open in a new window (This link will open in a new window) (NPPF) which cancelled PPS3. The approach to the development of residential garden land has not changed as a result of the NPPF, therefore the advice in the Council's guidance remains relevant.

Housing Supply

Following the attempt by the Government to revoke the Regional Spatial Strategy (the South East Plan) in 2010, the Council produced the following Statement of Intentions which explains why the Council does not intend to review the adopted housing requirement as set out in the Core Strategy. However following a legal challenge the South East Plan remains part of the development plan.

The Council publishes a Housing Five Year Supply Statement which sets out the current supply of housing in relation to the Core Strategy requirement.

Background information

Background information on the Core Strategy can be found on the Local Development Framework - Evidence Base page.
