HSG6 - RESERVE HOUSING LAND
The District Council will continue to monitor housing land supply on an annual basis. If as a result of this process the Council is satisfied that land is required in addition to that allocated in Policy HSG5 to meet the identified housing requirements of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994 for the period between 1st April 2001-31st March 2006, one or more of the following sites, as shown on the Proposals Map will be released:
- Between Randalls Road and Cleeve Road, Leatherhead (2.9ha/7.2 acres)
- Fronting Clare Crescent, Leatherhead (0.9ha/2.2 acres)
- Between Glenfield Close and Ridge Close, Strood Green, Brockham (3.2ha/8.0 acres)
- Marley Mead, Ridgeway Road, Dorking (1.3ha/3.2 acres)
- Rear of Springfield Road, Westcott (2.2ha/5.4 acres)
If as a result of monitoring, a deficit is anticipated, then the sites will be released so far as possible in proportion to that deficit, but with a safety margin in favour of exceeding the requirement as follows:
| Anticipated Deficit | Sites to be released (nos) |
|---|---|
| 25-50 | 1 |
| 50-75 | 1 and 2 |
| 75-100 | 1, 2 and 3 |
| 100-150 | 1, 2, 3 and 4 |
| Over 150 | All |
Until the sites are needed to meet possible longer-term development requirements, they will be safeguarded from premature development. Proposals which would affect the open character of these sites or prejudice their use for possible longer-term development will not be permitted.
