Housing Development for 950 Homes Planned for Normandy

Message from: Normandy Action Group (NAG)
A crucial planning application for 950 new builds in Normandy, submitted by Taylor Wimpey, is imminent. Guildford Borough Council will soon publish it, initiating a critical 21 day consultion period. NAG's objective is to stop this development and needs Pirbright residents to object to the application as soon as it is published.
This project is inappropriate for prime Green Belt land, threatening our environment, ecology and exacerbating flooding issues. It is also disproportionate; doubling Normandy's size and overwhelming local infastructure.
For Pirbright, this means a significant increase in traffic on our shared routes, impacting commutes, school runs and our villages' peaceful character. There are already separate aplications for another 650 builds in Ash and Tongham and the 1,200 homes at the Mindenhurst development in Deepcut (the reason for the roadworks in Pirbright). Our roads cannot cope. Thames Water have acknowledged that our local Hockford (Pirbright) sewerage treatment plant is already at capacity.
This application is opportunistic. NAG urge you to understand the implications, spread the word and OBJECT.
