PLANNING INSPECTOR GRANTS PERMISSION FOR LAND BEHIND THE UCA - UPDATED 10th OCTOBER 2025
Gleeson Land, who are the agents dealing with this development have replied to a query raised by Richard Whitehorn of AVRA - their email response follows:
"Gleeson Land are currently marketing the site on behalf of the landowners. Our role was purely at the Outline planning stage, and it is not ourselves building the houses. We don't yet know who the 'end' developer will be and when this process will conclude, although as a rough guide, I would expect in the region of 4-6 months from now."

COXBRIDGE ROAD NAMING - UPDATED 10th OCTOBER 2025
The mystery buyer was unveiled a few weeks back by The Farnham Herald

PREVIOUSLY
Cala Homes have advised us that discussions have been ongoing regarding entering into a partnership with another developer to deliver a proportion of the approved plots, nothing has been agreed or finalised as of yet. If / when this happens, then they will be able to inform us who this will be.
Cala Homes were asked if this other developer would be subject to the approved plans and they replied:
Yes, anyone building the houses on Site will need to do so in accordance with the approved plans and Conditions as decided with the recent Reserved Matters Application as you mention. If a minor amendment is sought, this will need to be secured through Waverley Borough Council.
We requested information about the maintenance of the Green Buffer abutting onto Hazell Road and they replied:
A management company will take ownership and responsibility of the buffer. The intention is for one singular management company to manage the whole Site.
PREVIOUS UPDATE MAY 6th 2025
Strangely, upon investigation, there were three roads unnamed. It seems that Cala Homes have sold the development of 90 dwellings in this unnamed road area, adjacent to Hazell Road, to another unknown (as yet) developer. Cala Homes have been requested to reveal the name of this developer. Only 230 dwellings are thus being developed by Cala Homes.

COXBRIDGE - NMA/2025/00459 - WA/2024/00599
Update 6th MAY 2025 - APPLICATION REFUSED
REASON - The bricks chosen to replace the approved Olde Henfield Multi and Thornton Red Blend, by reason of method of manufacture and colour tones, are not considered to be appropriate substitutes and therefore have an adverse impact on the appearance of the development. As such, the proposed amended wording to Condition 1 is not agreed.
Since the RMA was approved at the end of 2024, CALA has subsequently discharged all remaining Pre-Commencement Conditions and development has now commenced in earnest on site. Yet, through the tendering process, two bricks ('Thornton Red' and 'Olde Henfield') that were approved under Drawing No. CB_36_314_008 Rev. H – External Finishes Plan are not currently available. As such, we have had to seek substitutes for these two brick types to two similar shades which are available and in stock. The changes are summarised below and updated on new plan, Rev J. All other bricks remain as previously approved.
