The final round of consultation on the Bustow & Smallfield Neighbourhood Plan (NHP) is now open for comments.
This consultation is being carried out by Tandridge District Council in accordance with Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning General Regulations 2012. The consultation closes at 11.59pm on Thursday 25 June 2026.
Please submit your comments to TDC by 11.59pm on Thursday 25 June 2026 using one of the following:

Write to: Tandridge District Council, 8 Station Road East, Oxted RH8 0BT.
All the NHP documents can be found via the green 'View Website' link on the right hand side of this page.
The steering group would like to thank the many people who submitted comments to the previous January/February local Public Consultation.
Following that successful event, we have submitted loads of documents (The Plan itself, Consultation Statement, Evidence document, Basic Conditions Statement: over 140 pages of it) to Tandridge District Council.
Tandridge have since confirmed that they all meet their requirements and we are now about to go out to the much wider ‘Regulation 16’ Consultation across the whole District.
(We have had to wait for the Local Elections for East Surrey to complete).
Once this Reg 16 Stage is completed, a government ‘Examiner’ will be selected to preside over our wording and determine if it is satisfactory to form part of the statutory planning process. Finally, it should come back for the very last stage, which is for a very local Referendum. That’s the process - and we are well on the way. Watch this space!

Chairman, Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group.
