 Improving play areas and green spaces across the borough

These spaces support active, sensory and educational play to suit a variety of needs and interests.
 Planning application update: Land north and east of Raleigh House
On 22 September 2025, Elmbridge Borough Council published an update on planning application 2025/1386 following changes to national planning guidance. On 17 September, the government updated the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) on flood risk and coastal change.
Elmbridge Borough Council have reviewed the changes and took legal advice. It found that the Planning Committee’s original decision on 16 September to refuse the application may no longer be appropriate. The application will now be reconsidered at the Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday 14 October 2025.
By signing up to Commonplace, you can have your say on local projects and plans that affect your community. It’s a quick and easy way to share your views, stay informed and help shape the future of your area.
