Tandridge District Local Plan – Regulation 18 Early Engagement consultation
TDC has started an Early Engagement consultation (Regulation 18) on its emerging Draft Local Plan. The Early Engagement consultation document sets out our initial vision, objectives and emerging policy directions for the new Local Plan, which will guide the future growth and development of the district over the plan period. The document is intended to invite early views on the key issues, options and proposed approaches that will inform the next stages of plan preparation.
This consultation is being carried out in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, which requires local planning authorities to engage with residents, stakeholders, statutory bodies and other interested parties when preparing a Local Plan. The consultation also forms part of our commitment to meaningful early engagement and transparency in plan-making.
The consultation runs until 1 March 2026 and you can view the consultation document and submit comments. TDC will consider all comments and they will help shape the next draft of the Local Plan prior to further statutory consultation. Representations should be submitted online, where possible.
