The representation stage of this planning application has now closed. MVDC have advised that the Applicant (Thakenham Homes) has submitted additional information.
The BRA Planning Team has examined this additional information in close detail and has found nothing that has led us to amend the views and statements set out in our initial Letter of Representation dated 20th March 2024, where we strongly objected to the proposed development.
The BRA Planning team have yet again produced a robust, detailed and validated response which you can view via the link below.
Areas covered by the supplementary response are:
Derek Finnie Associates Technical response to Surrey Wildlife Trust
Tree and Landscaping proposals
Transport and/or Travel
Savills letter dated 12th April 2024 to Sherrelle Munnis. (MVDC Planning Officer)
Letters of Representation submitted by residents of Bookham.

Traffic
Removal of Preston Farm from the Green Belt
Flooding and surface water
Over-development of housing along the Lower Road
Lack of adequate infrastructure such as doctors, dentists, social services.
