Archived Planning Policy Documents

All of the our old planning policy documents, including our previously adopted, now archived, plans can be viewed on Planning Policy.

Core Strategy

The Core Strategy (adopted 1 October 2009) guided new development in Mole Valley up until 2026.

It was the starting point in the determination of planning applications in the Mole Valley alongside saved policies from the Local Plan 2000.

Local Plan 2000

The Core Strategy did not supersede the Local Plan 2000 (adopted 12 October 2000) in its entirety and a number of policies within it were saved.

These saved policies principally related to more day-to-day planning applications such as home extensions.

Dorking Town Area Action Plan

The Dorking Town Area Action Plan (adopted 5 December 2012) indicated where new retail and residential development would take place within the central area of Dorking.
