This document presents the Caterham, Chaldon and Whyteleafe Neighbourhood Plan (‘the CCWNP’ or ‘the Neighbourhood Plan’) for the four parishes1 of Caterham Hill, Caterham Valley, Chaldon and Whyteleafe. It represents one part of the development plan for the parishes over the period 2018 to 2033, the other parts being the Tandridge Core Strategy 2008 and the Tandridge Local Plan – Part 2: Detailed Policies, 2014. Tandridge is in the process of developing an emerging Local Plan, which sets out a development strategy for the district up to 2033. 1.2. Caterham Hill Parish Council is the primary parish representing the ‘CR3 Neighbourhood Plan Group’, bringing together all those serving or having an interest in the area, defined by the boundaries of the four Parish Councils of Caterham Hill, Caterham Valley, Chaldon and Whyteleafe, to produce a Neighbourhood Plan. ‘CR3’ was initially chosen as it was a common postcode root, although it should be noted that the CR3 postcode covers a wider area than the Neighbourhood Plan area. 1.3. Tandridge District Council (TDC), as the local planning authority, designated a Neighbourhood Area encompassing the four parishes (as shown on Figure 1.1) on 12th July 201210 September 2018 to enable the Neighbourhood Plan group to initiate the Plan. 1.4. The Plan has been is being prepared in accordance with the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Localism Act 2011 and the Neighbourhood Development Planning Regulations 2012 as amended. The Neighbourhood Plan group has prepared the Plan to establish a vision and framework for the future of the four parishes and to set out how that vision will be realised through planning land use and development change over the plan period 2018 to 2033. 1.5. The purpose of the CCWNP is to structure development within the parish and provide guidance to any interested parties wishing to submit planning applications for development within the parish. The process of producing the CCWNP has sought to involve the community as widely as possible and the different topic areas are reflective of matters that are of considerable importance to the four parishes, their residents, businesses and community groups. 1.6. Each section of the CCWNP covers a different topic. Under each heading there is the justification for the policies presented, which provides the necessary understanding of the policy and what it is seeking to achieve. The policies themselves are presented ine th blue boxes. It is these policies against which planning applications will be assessed. It is advisable that, in order to understand the full context for any individual policy, it is read in conjunction with the supporting text and evidence documents that have been compiled to underpin the Neighbourhood Plan. 1.7. In addition to the policies, the Plan identifies a number of local needs and community aspirations that
