Local residents are not the only ones opposing the Taylor Wimpey proposal to impose up to 950 new builds in the wildlife and heritage heart of Normandy. None of the organisations asked by Guildford Borough Council (GBC) for their views on planning applications 25/P/01725 and 25/P/01726 have expressed enthusiasm for them.

History matters. The origin of things matters. Preserving our heritage matters. Take this bench. We do not know its history - it is an image taken from the internet, where it has been generously contributed by a gentleman called Bernd through the Pixabay platform (thank you!). But it is a beautiful and intriguing object, and makes us curious about its origins.

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.

So that we have an idea of numbers, please sign up on the form that you will find here.
