The Government's new draft planning framework (NPPF December 2025) allows for the default approval of planning applications ’near’ stations, including in the Green Belt.
 
As yet, what ‘near’ means is not clear.

On 28 February we submitted our Objection to Taylor Wimpey's planning application 25/P/01725, and on 12 March to 25/P/01726. You can read both in the pdfs attached, below.

The Taylor Wimpey applications for up to 950 new builds on the Green Belt in Normandy, along with the associated one for 'Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace' (SANG), have now been published on the Guildford Borough Council (GBC) website and are open for public consultation, under the references 25/P/01725 and 25/P/01726 respectively. 

We'd like to introduce you (courtesy of the Woodland Trust) to our new friend Mr Weasel, who is going to help us understand some of the words in Taylor Wimpey's application to put 950 new builds on protected green space in Normandy.



We haven’t seen the application yet, but we know it's been deposited, because it's appeared on something called the Public Notice Portal - see below. It is currently being checked by Guildford Borough Council, and we are told it will be published shortly.
