THE timetable for determining Dunsfold Park’s application to build 1,800 houses on the aerodrome south of Godalming has slipped by a couple of months.

Waverley’s joint planning committee is now due to meet in August to decide whether to approve or refuse the plan for the borough’s largest brownfield site to help meet increased government housing targets and relieve the pressure to build on green fields surrounding Farnham and Cranleigh.

A Waverley spokesman said: “Following requests for further information from a number of statutory consultees, including Surrey County Council, the Environment Agency and Natural England, Waverley’s planning team have asked the applicants to prepare an addendum document to support their current application on matters such as highways, sustainable transport, landscape visual impact, ecology, flooding and affordable housing.

“As such the timetable for determining the application has been adjusted to allow the applicants to prepare the information required and to allow for a further consultation period.

“The consultation is to allow all the current responders, approximately 1,500, the opportunity to comment on the new information being submitted.

“Once the report from the applicants has been received and the 21-day consultation period has taken place officers will prepare the report. This will then be published in advance of the joint planning committee meeting which will consider the application. This is likely to be in August 2016.”
