Planning the future of our four parishes
Latest News
The Regulation 16 Consultation period on the CCWNP run by Tandridge District Council ended on 2nd September 2019. Consultation responses on the CCWNP are now available on the Tandridge District Council website, please use https://www.tandridge.gov.uk/Planning-and-building/Planning-strategies-and-policies/Parish-Council-neighbourhood-plans
The Chair of the CCWNP Steering Group reports that the content of the various consultation responses was discussed at Steering Group Meetings in September and October. The Steering Group has now produced a report detailing our comments on the responses. Where it felt necessary and helpful for the success of the Plan the Steering Group has taken on board a number of very helpful suggestions. There were other suggestions for which the SG felt were best left to examination.

The ‘Submission Version’ of the Caterham, Chaldon and Whyteleafe Neighbourhood Plan is now available to view (see below)
About the Neighbourhood Plan
The Neighbourhood Plan is an important document that will be used to determine planning applications within Caterham, Chaldon and Whyteleafe (view map). It will be formally examined and subject to a local referendum, which, if successful means that it will sit alongside the Tandridge Local Plan offering detail relevant to our area.
The Plan has been developed over many years by a Steering Group comprising volunteers from the four Parish and Village Councils (Caterham Hill, Caterham Valley, Chaldon and Whyteleafe). We have worked hard to hear the views of local residents and businesses.
Importantly, the Neighbourhood Plan provides a tool for us to protect the special character and green spaces that we have. It will also enable us to receive 25% of developer contributions (Community Infrastructure Levy) coming from development in our area. This money can be put towards community projects.
We are about to publish the ‘Submission Version’ of the Neighbourhood Plan. This will be delivered to Tandridge District Council, who will consult on it for approximately six weeks. It is important that you have a look at the document and give your views, even if it is simply to offer your support.
Then, the Plan will be examined by an Independent Examiner. After that, there will be a local referendum, which will be open to everyone registered to vote in the Neighbourhood Plan area. If we achieve a majority of 51% or more, the Plan will be ‘made’ and will form part of the Local Plan, and will carry weight in determining planning policies.
