Sutton Green is a semi-rural suburban settlement and area of Metropolitan Green Belt between Guildford and Woking, Surrey. Sutton Green neighbours Jacobs Well in the Borough of Guildford.
Sutton Green is a semi-rural suburban or dispersed settlement and area of Metropolitan Green Belt, between Guildford and Woking, Surrey. Sutton Green neighbours Jacobs Well; part of its easternmost fields is in the flood risk area of the River Wey, being a purposeful long flood meadow as a consequence of the river's many channels and improvements such as the Wey Navigation which passes to the west then east (Send, Surrey side) of the main channel here. The south of the parish is a prominent terrace above a long meander of the Wey including Sutton Place itself. A low contour of this terrace and brief section, north, is ancient woodland. The land is mostly Historic Landscape, in shades, the centre-south, Ladymead Farm being red and adjoining Sutton Place, deep green. West of Sutton Green are farm-separated Prey Heath and Whitmoor Common that is a Surrey Wildlife Trust SSSI.
As of the last (2004) 8 to 10-year review, the area is in a slightly redrawn Mayford and Sutton Green one-councillor electoral ward of the Borough. It is in the Woking South County division. There is a range of community facilities serving the local area including the Mayford Centre and the village hall; Local Plan policies resist the loss of community facilities unless there is no longer a need for the facility or where adequate alternative provision is made (policy CUS2).
