EH-S1: Spatial development in East Horsley

New development in East Horsley will be focused within the applicable settlement area. The current settlement area and the expanded settlement area as proposed in the emerging GBC local plan are both shown in Map EH2.

Development proposals located within the applicable settlement area but outside of the proposed inset area, (as proposed in the emerging GBC local plan and shown in Map EH2), shall also be subject to applicable Green Belt policies.

Development proposals located in the Green Belt outside of the applicable settlement area will be required to demonstrate how they conserve the rural landscape, with reference to the Guildford Landscape Character Assessment.

Development proposals within the Surrey Hills AONB will be required to demonstrate how they will conserve the Surrey Hills AONB, with reference to the Surrey Hills Management Plan. Development proposals in close proximity to the Surrey Hills AONB will be required to demonstrate that they will not result in the loss of important public views to and from the Surrey Hills AONB.
