Submission

Chobham Parish Council has submitted their proposed Neighbourhood Plan to Surrey Heath Borough Council 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.

Neighbourhood plan consultation

The Borough Council is now required to publish the Neighbourhood Plan for comments for a minimum period of six weeks. This consultation runs from 15 July until 5 September 2025. Further information on the consultation, and how to respond, can be found on our Chobham Neighbourhood plan consultation portal.

Following the close of consultation, the Neighbourhood Plan will then be subject to independent examination, and subject to the outcome of the examination, a local referendum will be held.

Further information on the next steps in preparing of the Neighbourhood Plan will be added to this webpage once more detail is available.
