It’s time to comment – this weekend! – make your views felt. On line at Cranleigh Parish Council or in their office (mornings) in Village Way.

What does it say? It shows the new outline of the Village, and the places where housing is being built and can be built in the future. There are comments about design and infrastructure. Have a read and examine the pictures.
This is the Response of the Cranleigh Civic Society to the Cranleigh Neighbourhood Plan.
- Overview of Plan
The Plan is a very detailed, thorough and professional document that has benefited from the multiple consultations with the Cranleigh Community.
There are 21 POLICIES IN BLUE PANELS to agree to. There are many maps and photos to support the descriptions that lead to the policies.
Cranleigh Society – Specific Comments
- Dates
The Plan should state the formal start date of the Plan, since the allocation and monitoring of 1,700 houses in the Waverley Local Plan is central to the strategy. Is the year Fiscal or Calendar for accuracy ?
- Planning Approvals
The Plan should include a table of all the major Planning Approvals since the start date, stating the number of Affordable houses and number of Houses and Flats included for each development, with Windfall Approvals shown separately. The table should show the number of houses completed for each site at a given date. Any desired reductions in numbers of affordable homes on a development should be supported by a report from the developer and be audited as being accurately prepared by an independent quantity surveying firm acceptable to Cranleigh Parish Council.
- Incremental Houses
The Plan should include a policy on how applications should be treated for houses that are incremental to the required 1,700, with the priority policy for these incremental houses.
- House Size
The Plan should have a policy on the proportion of different house sizes : 1, 2,3 or 4 bed sizes and the proportion of affordable houses plus reasonably low rents and purchase prices.
5. Make Cranleigh SMART
The plan should include requirements to ensure support for those people with additional needs, the elderly, those who depend on wheels – wheelchairs, pushchairs, cycles, and provide for young people – for example on skateboards etc. too

Roads and sewage systems can barely cope now with the large number of houses being built it is likely to cause chaos.
Complete and utter chaos is my prediction. High Street is already becoming gridlocked. Cranleigh will be the Venice of Surrey! So sad. Ruined forever.
