Surrey County Councillors have agreed to limit the daily number of HGVs travelling to and from the Oxted Quarry.  

It has been agreed to reduce the number of daily HGV movements at the Chalkpit Lane quarry from 156 to 112. The main reason for the reduction was because no evidence was submitted, that a lower number would affect the quarry’s economic viability.  

The Oxted and Limpsfield Residents’ Group is reviewing the details of the new planning controls for the quarry agreed by Surrey County Councillors.
