Land South-West of Godstone Station

The key features of the Framework Plan are:

Up to 200 new homes, including 49% affordable housing

…………………………

A range of housing sizes and tenures to meet local needs

…………………………

A new retail or community building adjacent to the A22

…………………………

Vehicle access from the A22 via a new signalised junction

…………………………

Foot / cycle access from the A22 and Tilburstow Hill Road

…………………………

An active travel corridor along the northern boundary for walking and cycling

…………………………

Maintenance & enhancement of tree planting on the site boundaries

…………………………

Ecological enhancement of the tree belt, hedgerow & ditch bisecting the site

…………………………

Sustainable drainage features along the southern boundary

…………………………

Areas of open space across the site including play areas

The site has the capacity to accommodate around 200 dwellings at a density of between 30-40 dwellings per hectare (dph).  A new facility could also be included for the benefit of the community in the north-eastern corner of the site adjacent to the A22, such as a convenience store or community building.

In total, just under 45% of the site would be left undeveloped and dedicated to green infrastructure, including new public open space.  It is envisaged that the new homes would be integrated into the current field pattern, nestled within the existing treed landscape, with additional new tree planting provided across the site.  Drainage features and biodiversity enhancements will be maximised along the southern boundary.  Play areas would be provided and there may be the opportunity for some allotments as well.
