CP3 Scale And Distribution Of New Housing

Within the period 2011-2028 the Borough Council will make provision for 3,240 (net) additional dwellings. This will be provided by:

  • Promoting the use of previously developed land in settlement areas and ensuring the most effective use of that land;
  • Allocating the Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut for redevelopment for some 1200 new homes
  • After 2025 if insufficient sites have come forward within settlement areas release of sustainable sites in the Countryside beyond the Green Belt
  • Small scale affordable housing schemes as rural exception sites outside of settlement boundaries of the rural villages;
  • Resisting any development that involves a net loss of housing unless it can be demonstrated that the benefits outweigh the harm.

Within the period 2011-2025 the provision of 2,730 (net) additional dwellings will generally be distributed as follows:

The Council will not permit development which, either alone or in-combination with other development, has an adverse effect upon the integrity of the European Sites.
