Housing and Local Centre

Type & Status

Pre Application and Consultation

Historty - The site was a draft allocation for community facilities and housing in the previous 2016 Draft Local Plan as site A46 (in the draft) which proposed up to 1,000 homes, a local centre, and potentially a new secondary school to serve developments in Normandy, Ash, and Blackwell Farm. The proximity to Wanborough Station was seen as a major attraction.

Scale:

60 HA

Assuming density is comparable to other sites e.g. Wisley the number of houses could be approx 1000. 

Detailed Plans not available

Architect:

Not Known

Comment:

Land at Normandy and Flexford comprises a series of grass and agricultural fields between Westwood Lane and Glaziers Lane, with the railway to the south, and Guildford Road properties to the north.

The site has existing road and footpath connections, and potential to link directly onto the Wanborough rail station.

Locally there is concern about flooding issues, how the developers address this will be a key issue
