To summarise, we are developing proposals for: 

​

• Delivery of up to 446 new homes, 45% of which would be affordable homes and 5% self-build plots.

• The delivery of new community facilities, including those that could accommodate early years education.

• Job creation and increased use of local services during the construction phase by focusing on working with local contractors, in line with our commitment to generating social value as part of the project.  

• Additional revenue for local businesses and the scope for further job creation, brought about by new residents investing in the local community.

• The prioritisation of walking and cycling to encourage healthy lifestyles, through new and improved active travel routes that would enhance local connections to Hookwood, Horley and the wider countryside.

• The benefit of improved accessibility to the public right of way network for both existing and future residents.

• Being well served by bus routes (22 and 324) and being close to Horley and Gatwick railway Stations; both accessible from the site by bicycle and bus route 22.

• New public spaces, including play areas, allotments and planting.

• Being in Flood Zone 1 with low risk of flooding with an area available for natural flood management, which would reduce the impact of existing flooding across the district and beyond.

• Providing a biodiversity net gain through habitat creation as well as retaining hedgerows, high quality trees and the central woodland for public enjoyment as well as habitat creation.

​

An outline planning application will be designed to agree with the above principles and will be submitted to Mole Valley District Council for determination.
