April 2024 Update
After stopping the process in 2023 MVDC have restarted their work on the Local Plan now with a revised timeframe of 2020 to 2038. The WVA has submitted comments on the key revisions MVDC are proposing to the plan which includes a significant increase in the housing allocation for Westcott which we believe is unsustainable given the infrastructure constraints.

HISTORIC INFO
Mole Valley District Council are currently working on its next Local Plan, “Future Mole Valley”. The project will set out plans for using land in the District for the next 15 years (2020 to 2035) it will include targets for delivering new developments as well as areas that will continue to be protected.
The strategic development options include;
Brownfield options
- Town Centre redevelopment
- Limited reallocation of commercial and retail land
- Mixed-use redevelopment
- Targeted increases in suburban densities
Greenfield options
- Urban extensions
- Expansion of one or more rural villages
- Modest additions to rural villages
In considering additions to rural villages Mole Valley invited existing landowners to submit their proposals. As a result, potential sites for redevelopment have been put forward by landowners in Westcott. Full details of these proposals including location maps and the response submitted by the Westcott Village Association to the consultation by Mole Valley District Council are set out below.
Full details can also be found on the dedicated website http://futuremolevalley.org/ including an option to sign up for newsletters direct from MVDC on this sensitive issue.
