Planning permission for up to 86 homes in Dorking

We have received planning permission for Land at Milton Court Lane in Dorking from Mole Valley District Council’s Planning Committee following the signing of a Section 106 agreement. The proposed plans for Land at Milton Court Lane include up to 86 new net-zero carbon one to four-bedroom homes, including a 40% affordable housing provision in compliance with planning policy.

Targeting an onsite biodiversity net gain of over 20%, the landscape-led development will be carefully developed to respect views from the Surrey Hills National Landscape and Ranmore Common. The scheme will feature a village green, including a children’s play area, native woodland and orchard tree planting, and two fields, mature hedgerow and an existing track running along the western boundary of the site.

Chris Brake, our Planning Director, said: “It’s a testament to the hard work of multiple departments and external consultants to achieve this milestone and secure the Section 106 agreement for this site. With nearly 700 households currently on Mole Valley District Council’s housing waiting list, Land at Milton Court Lane will help meet local needs by delivering up to 86 much needed new sustainable homes.”

Land at Milton Court Lane is located west of Dorking and north of the A25, with easy access to bus routes and Dorking town centre. The site is currently accessed from Milton Court Lane connected to Westcott Road, with vehicular access and pedestrian, cycle and equestrian connections that continue along Milton Court Lane.
