Consultation on the submitted Stoneleigh and Auriol neighbourhood plan (Regulation 16 Consultation)
The Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Forum (SANF) have prepared the Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Plan (2025-2039). The purpose of this plan is to provide planning policies to guide development in the designated Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Area.
The Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to Epsom & Ewell Borough Council (EEBC) on 18 May 2025. Upon submission, EEBC took on responsibility for taking the Neighbourhood Plan forwards. Once a plan has been submitted to the local planning authority, it must be checked to ensure all the submission requirements set out in legislation have been met.
We can confirm that the submission requirements have been met, and in accordance with Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) the Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Plan, and its supporting documents, are open for public consultation, known as the Regulation 16 consultation.
The consultation is open from 9am on Friday 20 June 2025, it will close at 11.59pm on Friday 1 August 2025. To view the consultation documents and find out further information about the consultation, please visit our consultation portal using the following link:
