The appeal into the planned development on the former Wisley Airfield began on 26 September. The appeal will sit for 24 days until 24 November.
The planning inspector will be hearing evidence from parties opposed to the development and from the appellant, Taylor Wimpey. East and West Horsley Parish Councils will be jointly presenting our own evidence, prepared with input from a planning consultant, in support of the case against the development. Our Proof of Evidence is available on the East Horsley Parish Council web site Proof of Evidence. Much of the discussion during the hearing is likely to be technical. But on 18 October members of the public will be able to speak about the potential effect of the development on their community.
The public are able to attend the appeal as observers. The hearings are taking place at the Guildford Borough Council offices on Millmead. Alternatively, there is a live webcast of each day’s hearing. The dates of sitting and the live stream options are provided on the GBC web site: Click here
