Developer's 950-home plans include school and GP

Early-stage planning documents have revealed more information about a developer's proposal

A housebuilder has revealed further details of a proposal to build 950 homes on farmland between two Surrey villages.
Guildford Borough Council has received early-stage planning documents for a development that could include a school, a GP practice and accommodation for older people.
Developer Taylor Wimpey said its proposal for a site bordering the villages of Normandy and Flexford would also feature green space and shops.
But campaigners Normandy Action Group said the scheme would "fundamentally and irrevocably change the nature of our community and our environment".
Taylor Wimpey's prior proposal to build 1,100 homes on the land was met with a backlash in 2016, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
A spokesperson for Taylor Wimpey said: "We recognise that many residents have strong views about our plans for land off Glaziers Lane."
The developer added it was "committed to working with local residents" on a scheme that "responds to local priorities and delivers genuine benefits for the area".
Taylor Wimpey ran an event to collect feedback on its proposals in July.
A planning application has not yet been submitted for the scheme.
