Local Housing Plan Survey

In February Epsom and Ewell Borough Council is starting its consultations about its plans for new house building locally. The Government has asked local authorities to make provision for more housing, particularly affordable homes. There are too many young people who are struggling to afford to buy or even rent a home. But I believe that that future planning must protect the character of the area. I want to get your input so that I can make the case for smart future development in the Borough. In particular I want to push them to accept my proposals for the Kiln Lane and Longmead areas, which would meet much of our local housing need. Full details are on my website, www.chrisgrayling.net

Question Title

* 6. Do you have any other comments about the local plan and how the Council should provide the housing that is needed locally?

Question Title
