Godstone: Former quarry could become 140 homes

Plans for 140 homes and a new doctor's surgery in a former Surrey quarry will be decided by councillors.

Council officers have recommended approval of the plans for the former Godstone quarry, near the A25.

A decision on the 6-acre (15-hectare) site will be made by Tandridge District Council's planning committee.

The application, submitted by Ashill Land Limited, also includes a car park for Godstone Parish Council and new open space.

Plans were due to have been decided at a meeting on Thursday, but were withdrawn from the agenda the day before to allow councillors to go on a site visit.

Though located in the green belt, officers said the benefits of the plans, which include 70 affordable homes, outweighed the harm to the green belt.
