Chobham Parish Council have made steps towards producing a neighbourhood development plan.
Chobham Parish Council submitted their proposed Neighbourhood Plan to Surrey Heath Borough Council in June 2025 for publication, independent examination and a referendum ahead of the Plan being ‘made’ (adopted). The Neighbourhood Plan covers the period to 2038 and contains a vision and planning policies which if adopted, will form part of the development plan and be used by the Borough Council in the determination of planning applications in the Parish.
Following submission, the Borough Council undertook consultation on the Chobham Neighbourhood Plan from 15 July to 5 September 2025. Further information on the closed consultation can be found on the consultation portal for the Chobham Neighbourhood plan.
