RUD21 - MAJOR DEVELOPED SITES IN THE GREEN BELT

The Council has identified the following Major Developed Sites in the Green Belt:

  • Brockham Park - this site has now been redeveloped for housing
  • RAF Headley Court
  • Queen Elizabeth Training College, Leatherhead.

Within these sites defined on the Proposals Map, limited infilling and redevelopment will be allowed subject to the following criteria:

  • Infilling should:
    • have no greater impact on the purposes of including land in the Green Belt than the existing development;
    • not exceed the height of the existing buildings; and
    • not lead to a major increase in the developed proportion of the site.
  • Redevelopment should:
    • have no greater impact than the existing development on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land in it, and where possible have less;
    • contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the use of land in Green Belts;
    • not exceed the height of the existing buildings; and
    • not occupy a larger area of the site than the existing buildings (unless this would achieve a reduction in height which would benefit visual amenity).
