Planning Update on the Paddocks Development near the Ranch
IMPORTANT – We need your help again
The developers of the Paddocks site opposite The Ranch have put in an update on their planning application. All your original comments still stand, but the Stoke D’Abernon Residents Association would like us to comment again, especially as a developer has shown no regard for the local community or for nature. Comments must be made by 2 December 2025.
Over 1000 complaints were put in by local residents, including lots from Shetland Pony Club’s supporters, to the original plan. So please please help us again to stop this planning update on the Paddocks Development near the Ranch.
Please object to the Planning Application2025/1097 to preserve the environment of The Ranch for future generations.
If you would like to help, please object again by 2 December 2025

Add your own comments or use these words:
You can copy and paste our comments below if that helps:
I would like to strongly object to the revised application by the developers which shows no understanding or regard for the previous comments submitted by local residents and visitors to Shetland Pony Club.
The developers are seeking to minimise and dismiss the very real objections of local people to this unsustainable development. The comments regarding Shetland Pony Club are inaccurate, and show no understanding of the local area or care for the communities concerns.
I urge Elmbridge Borough Council to reject this flawed application which would inflict irretrievable long term damage on the beauty, nature and amenity of the local area, to the Polyapes Scout Camp and to Shetland Pony Club.
