5G phone mast given the green light on corner of Surrey neighbourhood.

A new 15-metre mobile phone mast, dubbed a “monstrosity”, will be installed in East Molesey despite almost 90 letters of objections. The pole will help boost mobile phone signal and 5G coverage in the area, planning documents state.

The mast, put forward by mobile network operators EE and Three, will stand on a grass verge outside Boleyn Court. The application claims the surrounding trees on the corner of Bridge Road and Arnison Road will help cover the mast.

Members reluctantly backed the scheme at an Elmbridge Borough Council north area planning committee on Tuesday (November 4). The vote followed a long-running back and forth for several years, with previous proposals for taller masts at the same spot refused, including one that was thrown out at appeal.

However, a near-identical 15m version was approved by a planning inspector in 2019. Planning officers told councillors that this previous appeal decision carried “significant weight” and there had been no major changes since.

Planning permission has been granted for a 149-home development on land between Chertsey, Addlestone and the M25 - which is supposedly the 'noisiest part' of the motorway. The development consists of a mix of private, affordable and shared homes.

Chartway Partnerships Group (Chartway), in partnership with MTP Developments Ltd and housing association VIVID have announced their entry into a contract to deliver 149 homes, alongside five traveller sites, on land to the north of Green Lane, and south of the M25, in Chertsey.

New 51-home estate in Surrey village near Guildford moves step closer.

Dozens of homes are set to be built in a Surrey village between Guildford and Aldershot, as the developer has announced the completed purchase of the land. The housebuilder has also boasted of more than £1.3 million in investments to infrastructure in the area to accompany the homes.

Bellway Southern Counties is set to build 51 new homes in the village of Ash. This comes following the completion of a deal in September 2024 to purchase a 4.6-acre site near Harpers Road, where the development, which is to be known as Oakhill Meadow, will be based.

Alongside the new homes, which are to be split between 30 for the private market and 21 classed as affordable, the housebuilder has also boasted of a "significant contribution" of more than £1.3m to the local area. According to Bellway, the lion-share of said investment will go to contributions towards a new road bridge on the A323 near Ash Railway Station, and new school spaces for all ages.

Surrey to be split in two in council reorganisation

The end of existing councils in Surrey has been confirmed with the Government announcing widespread changes to how services will be delivered in the county.

Steve Reed, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, said in a letter to the leaders of Surrey's councils he would create two new unitary councils – East Surrey Council and West Surrey Council – subject to Parliamentary approval.

Surrey County Council and 11 borough and district councils will be dissolved and merged into the two large authorities.

Woking Borough Council will get a £500m bailout for 2026/7 to help balance its books and make the changes happen.

Waverley, Guildford, Woking, Surrey Heath, Runnymede and Spelthorne will be merged in the west, while Mole Valley, Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Reigate and Banstead, and Tandridge will form the east.

Mr Reed rejected the alternative three-council model despite both proposals meeting the criteria for devolution set out by the Government, stating the two unitary council plan was a "better fit financially".

One of the biggest questions the government had to deal with was the £5bn debt levels within the existing councils, with bankrupt Woking Borough Council owing the most.
