It's an emphatic 'NO' to Taylor Wimpey in Normandy: 1 in favour; 18 undecided; 317 against. This is NOT an appropriate site for a large scale housing development.

Thanks, @thatstvofficial.bsky.social. The release of Green Belt land should be strategic, not opportunistic, and it shouldn't be driven by where a large developer just happens to have an interest. This proposal would destroy a precious habitat for no good reason.

That's TV Surrey on X: ""It is inappropriate and disproportionate" Plans to build 950 homes on farmland outside the village of Normandy have been outlined. That's TV heard from chair of the @NormandyAG Mike Aaronson who said the plans would have a "devastating impact" if approved. https://t.co/bhryuZpBDS" / X

"Filling [the field in] with buildings will fundamentally and irrevocably change the nature of our community and our environment."
Several fields, actually: it's a 60 hectare site!

Plans for 950 homes in field could double the size of Surrey village
Taylor Wimpey has described the field as being part of the 'urban fringe'.

Really good letter on the ease with which developers can slide out of their commitments post planning approval. A plea to decision-makers:
"When the planning balance rests on undeliverable claims, refusal is not a gamble — it is sound and responsible governance."

Spare us the yah-boo politics; let's have a responsible, cross-party consensus on what needs to be done to fix the housing crisis - without handing over the Green Belt to the volume builders.
