A second community consultation has opened on the future of the Oxted Quarry in Chalkpit Lane.
The operators of the quarry, Southern Gravel Limited, plan to submit an application for 75 homes on the site later this year as an alternative to an increase in lorry traffic to 200 HGV lorry movements per day. The quarry is a large industrial operation extracting chalk and providing infill for construction waste.
There are two public consultation events about the new housing proposal; on Thursday evening at Oxted School from 6.00 pm -8.00 pm, and on Saturday at St Mary’s Primary School from 10.00 am-2.00 pm. The consultation will run until 22nd July.
On its website The Oxted and Limpsfield Residents’ Group has commented on the site’s location within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It says ‘no development should take place unless the developer can prove that “very special circumstances” exist to justify it’.
