The Local Plan: Garden Villages Consultation starts at 9am on Monday 14 August and will run until 5pm on Monday 9 October. This consultation is an opportunity for residents to have their say on the vision, objectives and principles of a garden village development as well as the potential location. A garden village development forms part of the preferred strategy the Council is pursuing in preparing the Local Plan.
The Garden Villages Consultation document will be available to view on the website from 14 August at www.tandridge.gov.uk/localplan. The website also contains information about how to take part in the consultation and a Get the Facts leaflet.
