Next steps
An independent Examiner (Mr Jeremy Edge) has been appointed by Tandridge District Council, and all the responses made to the Regulation 16 consultation, and the three responses to the June 2019 consultation on Local Green Space, together with the material submitted by the parishes at Regulation 16, have been passed to him for consideration.
Any questions raised by the Examiner, and details of any public hearing will be published on this website and on the website of the Caterham Chaldon and Whyteleafe neighbourhood plan at www.ccwnp.org.uk.
To date the Examiner has asked for further information on two issues: proposed allocations of Local Green Space, and housing sites, within the neighbourhood plan area.
He asked the group responsible for preparing the plan to complete a template providing information on each proposed Local Green Space by mid February 2020. These have been received. View the completed templates.
He has also asked for an update of Table 5.2 in the neighbourhood plan, which lists sites for housing in the neighbourhood plan area, and requested further information on the delivery of those sites. He also asked the CCW Steering Group and Tandridge District Council to agree a Statement of Common Ground relating to this Table before the hearing date. View the updated table and the Statement of Common Ground.
He is will hold a hearing on Tuesday 10 March 2020, at the Soper Hall, Harestone Valley Road, Caterham CR3 6HY, commencing at 10am. He has issued an agenda, a list of invitees he wishes to hear from, and a series of questions. Due to the availability of some invitees please note that he will deal with the Housing topic first ie the agenda will be taken in reverse order on the day. View the agenda.
The Examiner will report to the Council on the neighbourhood plan. If the neighbourhood plan is acceptable it will progress to local referendum, and if approved at referendum, will become part of Tandridge District Council’s planning policies for the area.

Background
The first proposal for a Neighbourhood Plan in Tandridge was for the area made up by the Caterham Hill Parish, Caterham Valley Parish, Chaldon Parish and Whyteleafe Parish. This proposed Neighbourhood Plan was the subject of a "front runner" bid for Government funding in late 2011. The bid was successful and £20,000 was awarded to help prepare the Neighbourhood Plan. More details can be found on the website.
A formal application made by Caterham Hill Parish Council, Caterham Valley Parish Council, Chaldon Village Council and Whyteleafe Village Council to designate the Neighbourhood Area was received by the Council and was publicised in accordance with the relevant Regulations. No comments were received. On 18 July 2012 the Council designated the Caterham Hill/Caterham Valley/Chaldon/Whyteleafe Neighbourhood Area.
Upon expiry of the original designation, a formal application to re-designate the Neighbourhood Area (unchanged) was received by the Council and publicised in accordance with the relevant Regulations. No adverse comments were received. On 10 September 2018 the Council designated the Caterham Hill/Caterham Valley/Chaldon/Whyteleafe Neighbourhood Area.
The area is shown on this map of CR3 Neighbourhood Area.
The District Council has screened the proposed Neighbourhood Plan to determine if a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) will be required. The CR3 Neighbourhood Plan SEA Screening doc concludes a SEA will be required.
Following the first SEA, the Neighbourhood Plan decided to no longer allocate sites. View the update to the SEA.
