On 8 October, a Planning Inspector begins his 4 week examination of the Plan. OLRG is taking part in the examination hearings. All members of OLRG working on this are doing it for free but we need to raise another £20,000 to pay for legal advice and professional representation.
If you would like to help and are able to make a donation - £100, £50, £25, £10 or anything at all - it will make a big difference in the fight to get the Plan put right.
There are 3 ways to donate:
The Councils Plan targets large areas of the Green Belt despite the fact that this is a mainly rural District with no big towns, few local jobs, and little infrastructure.
OLRG has engaged legal and planning experts to help us take part in the Local Plan process. They have made clear that the Council's documents are not compliant with Government policy, do not achieve sustainable development, and are not justified or effective.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has already kindly donated money to pay for the experts' input. Thanks also to the hundreds of residents who have copied us their emails and letters to Tandridge District Council expressing their views on the Plan which have been invaluable in making our response.
