DUNSFOLD 3RD APRIL 2008 - Dunsfold Park has been denied Eco-town status by the Housing Minister Caroline Flint. According to the Government's press release over 40 applications including Dunsfold Park were rejected "for being undeliverable or not ambitious enough to meet the high environmental and affordability standards set by Government."

Barry Myers, the Chairman of the action group “Stop Dunsfold Park New Town”, said “this is a massive blow to the developer as this scheme has received no support at any level of local Government, from the local Parish Councils through to Waverley Borough Council, Surrey County Council and SEERA (South East England Regional Assembly). Now central Government has failed to support it. This is a victory for common sense and we believe that all plans for a major housing development at Dunsfold Park should now be dropped.”
