Land at Badshot Lea Community Planning Weekend

On Friday 14 and Saturday 15 October 2016, the local community was invited to the Land at Badshot Lea Community Planning Weekend to help create the Vision for a sustainable new neighbourhood on land south of Badshot Lea.

Proposal
A consortium of landowners is proposing to create a new residential-led neighbourhood near Badshot Lea. The Borough Council needs to provide at least 9,861 dwellings over the next 16 years and the proposal will help to deliver the requirement and provide a wide range of high quality and much needed new homes. Former quarry land to the south of the A31 is also proposed for an area of natural recreational green space known as a SANGS (Suitable Accessible Natural Green Space).

Located close to Squire’s Garden Centre and running south, and including a parcel south of the A31, the site could accommodate new housing, including custom build, self build and affordable homes, as well as a hotel, shop and pub, in a high quality landscaped setting. The development can also contribute to improving the local movement infrastructure, including a cycle link to Farnham Station, and investment in education and community facilities.

What is a Community Planning Weekend?
The Community Planning Weekend was an opportunity to share local knowledge and contribute to planning the new development through workshops and hands-on planning groups. There was also an exhibition explaining the background of the site.

Participation at the Community Planning Weekend was on a drop-in basis with no need to pre-register - participants could stay for a short while, a few hours or for the whole event if they were able to. Team members were on hand to answer questions.

Report Back Presentation
Following the public workshops the JTP team analysed and summarised the outcomes and drew up an illustrated Vision for the sites which was reported back to the local community on Tuesday 18 October at St George’s Church.

Planning Application
Following the Community Planning Weekend the design team will move forward to prepare an outline planning application for the site, which will be submitted to Waverley Borough Council in 2017.
