A 400-home planning application that “would just swamp” parts of Surrey will be decided during a five-day public appeal hearing.
Developers, Merchant Seaman’s War Memorial Society and Thakeham Homes, have taken their Alfold development proposals to the planning inspectorate after Waverley Borough Council failed to rule on the matter.
If approved, the plans would also include up to 120 affordable homes and a communal commercial facility.
Residents have raised concerns about the lack of infrastructure and Thames Water has said the area’s network is at breaking point and cannot take any further development without upgrades.
