  • Representations should be restricted to matters relevant to town planning such as the likely effects of the proposal on land use, local amenities and character of the area, the environment and countryside, traffic and parking. The effect on property values and private interests such as covenants cannot be taken into account.
  • In all cases applications will be assessed against the provisions of the Elmbridge Borough Local Plan and other relevant supplementary guidance adopted by the Council. Minor or other applications not classed as major will normally be determined by the Strategic Director for Planning Services, under delegated authority, unless there are objections from more than fifteen households. In addition, any ward councillor may require cases to be brought to an Area Sub Committee for decision if there is notification within 28 days of validation.
  • Major applications (equivalent to 10 or more dwellings) will be reported to the Planning Committee for decision without reference to an Area Planning Sub Committee.
