Further Information Regarding the Proposal to Build on Green Belt Land
A 'Notice of Core Strategy Examination' has been received along with Inspector's documents, concerning Reigate & Banstead Borough Council Core Strategy proposal to Build on Green Belt Land in the Borough which The Reigate Society strongly opposes. These documents describe the programme and details questions which the Inspector will address during the examination which spans a period from the 14th to 24th May and so will be a very thorough exercise. All of these documents have been placed on our Noticeboard.
