An outline planning application for “the demolition of the existing dwelling at Wealdens and partial demolition of Storrs Hill Cottage and construction of up to 12 new dwellings” has been refused.

PLAN/2026/0102, submitted to Woking Borough Council, refers to a location at White Rose Lane, Woking.

In detailing multiple reasons for the refusal, council papers include: “It has not been demonstrated that the proposed quantum of development can be achieved at the site without resulting in an unduly contrived, discordant, and incongruous form of development which would fail to reflect the prevailing character of development in the surrounding area and without resulting in an unacceptable standard of amenity space for occupiers.”

The papers also note: “.... it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development would not prejudice highway safety.”

There was significant local opposition to the proposal, with 32 public objections registered.
