Using This Website

If you wish to submit your objection by email, please compose your objection in a word document and then attached to an email to 'comaps@tandridge.gov.uk'

Thanks to those who have already submitted objections. At the risk of repetition, we need as many people as possible to object. We are very lucky to have a highways engineer of 39 years standing within our group and he has produced a 12 ish page submission objecting to the Development. We have also engaged a planning consultant who we asked to focus on the Green/Grey belt issues and she will be submitting a very lengthy objection based on the flaws in their application. At the time of writing this is due to be submitted in a few days time.

However, these are very lengthy technical planning speak submissions written by experts. For the nonexperts amongst us, our objections can be as short or lengthy as we feel comfortable with, covering one or more issues. Whatever we feel passionate about we need to cover and personalise our objections in terms of how it affects us.

We have had some feed back suggesting a ‘how to Object using this website’ guide may be helpful. So here goes:-
