If approved, Caterham could see the land at Longsdon Way completely transformed into affordable housing and green spaces.

Proposals for the almost 10-acre greenfield site consist of a mix of apartments, maisonettes, semi-detached and terraced homes, with shared ownership and socially rented properties. The large sloping field is predominantly undeveloped, lying in the green belt, with a couple of ramshackle sheds.
