Planning permission granted for new net-zero carbon homes in Bookham

We have received planning permission for Land North West of Preston Farm in Bookham, Surrey from Mole Valley District Council after securing the Section 106 agreement. 

The proposed plans include up to 200 new net–zero carbon one to four-bedroom homes – 40% of which will be affordable – along with a new community centre and over 12 hectares of Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace and country park.

Land North West of Preston Farm has received a resolution to grant outline planning permission for up to 200 new net zero carbon one to four-bedroom homes, 40% of which will be affordable in compliance with planning policy, and a new community centre. Each sustainable home is planned to have features including dedicated electric vehicle charging points and secure cycle storage.

Chris Brake, our Planning Director, said:

“We are delighted to sign a Section 106 agreement for this site as it recognises the dedication of multiple internal and external stakeholders in achieving this milestone. Land North West of Preston Farm will include 40% affordable housing – something urgently needed in Mole Valley – and vast new public open space for the local community to enjoy.” 

The site lies on the western settlement edge of Bookham, which is made up of the two historic settlements of Great Bookham and Little Bookham. It is strategically located close to Leatherhead, Guildford and Dorking, with easy access to the M25, M25/A3 junction and Bookham railway station.
