Invitation to Provide Comments on Pre-Submission Consultation (Regulation 14) Godstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan
Consultation Period: Monday 16 December 2024 to Monday 10 February 2025
Godstone Parish Council invites your views on the proposals contained within the Pre-Submission Version Godstone Parish Neighbourhood Plan.
The consultation will run from Monday 16 December 2024 to Monday 10 February 2025.
This is a statutory Pre-Submission Consultation in accordance with the requirements of the Localism Act 2011 and Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended).
The Neighbourhood Plan is a document that sets out planning and land-use policies relating to Godstone parish. It is a formal document that sets out, in development terms, how land should be used within the parish, as well as planning policies to influence development proposals.
A steering group comprising local councillors and volunteers from the community was set up to lead the project to develop the Neighbourhood Plan. A great deal of work has been undertaken to reach the point of having a draft Plan, which we are now consulting on.
The Neighbourhood Plan must undergo a rigorous process, including a series of consultations, an independent examination and finally a local referendum, as ultimately it will form part of the development plan for Tandridge District, sitting alongside the adopted Local Plan. If successful, it will be used alongside the Local Plan policies to determine the outcome of planning applications within our parish.
The Pre-Submission Draft Plan and the associated documents can be found below, and we welcome your views on the draft policies. If you require assistance in viewing the Neighbourhood Plan documents, please contact the Parish Clerk on 01883 744209

A summary of all comments will be made publicly available following the consultation, and each will be carefully reviewed by the Neighbourhood Plan Working Group. The draft Neighbourhood Plan will be amended accordingly into its Submission Version, which will be formally submitted to Tandridge District Council, who will undertake a further round of consultation. After this, the Plan will be independently examined and, if successful, will proceed to a local referendum.
