Public meeting about Elmbridge Borough Council’s Local Plan consultation - 19 Sept 2019

Cobham Heritage, Cobham Green Belt Group and its affiliated local groups from Cobham, Oxshott, Downside and Stoke D’Abernon, are pleased to invite the public to a meeting to discuss the Elmbridge Borough Council’s Local Plan consultation on Thursday 19th September 2019 at 7.30pm.

The consultation asks residents to choose between five ‘strategic options’ to help the council draft this Local Plan and is open until 30th September 2019. We will be joined at our meeting by our local councillors led by James Brownewho will be pivotal as this plan develops.

These Options include one that foresees 16,300 new homes in Elmbridge. This would nearly double our local population as our share of these new houses would be both in our further developed urban areas and in two or more large areas of our local Green Belt (see www.cobhamgreenbelt.org.uk for more details).

The meeting will give all local residents an opportunity to hear and discuss these options, and how we may influence the final plan.

The meeting will be held at St. Andrew’s Church, Downside Bridge Road, Cobham KT11 3EJ. There is limited car parking there and on the local streets. Free car parking in the Hollyhedge Road car park is available from 7pmonwards.

We hope you and all your friends and neighbours will be able to join us for this important event.
