Starcross Farm, Farnham: Planning Permission for Housing Development in the Green Belt and AONB

Maddox Planning secured planning permission for a housing development at Starcross Farm in Farnham, Surrey.

The site is located within the countryside and is subject to both Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) designations, where residential development is tightly controlled through national and local planning policy. The proposals therefore required a carefully considered planning strategy addressing Green Belt policy, landscape impact and the principle of housing development in a highly sensitive rural location.

Maddox Planning advised on planning strategy and prepared the planning application, demonstrating how a sensitively designed residential scheme could respond to the constraints of the site while addressing the relevant planning policy framework.

Through the planning process the scheme was refined to ensure that the scale, layout and design of development respected the openness of the Green Belt and the character of the surrounding landscape.

Planning permission was secured for a residential development that delivers new homes while responding sensitively to the environmental and policy constraints affecting the site.

The project demonstrates Maddox Planning’s expertise in securing planning permission for housing development in sensitive rural locations, including sites within the Green Belt and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
