• Comment: So two main things, under WP:GOLDENRULE we need ideally 3 independent sources to confirm notability. There may be one here, but with a reference like that it is impossible to check, given The Times comes out daily. Secondly, and related, all Living Persons need to meet WP:BLP for inline citation. It would be rare for someone of this profile to have an entry, if they did it would be because of well founded notability against the published specification thereof.

Matthew Estwick is a British property developer and founder of Fairmile Homes, a Surrey-based residential development company. He is known for promoting housing schemes in constrained planning environments, including sites within the Green Belt and areas affected by emerging “grey belt” policy.^[1]

Estwick is the founder of Fairmile Homes and is associated with a number of companies operating under the Fairmile Group. His work focuses on residential development in the South East of England, particularly in Surrey.^[2]

He has been involved in promoting sites with complex planning histories, including land designated as Green Belt. His approach combines planning strategy, design-led proposals and engagement with local authorities and stakeholders.^[3]

Estwick is known for leading the promotion of a residential development at Clouds Hill Farm in Oxshott, Surrey.

In March 2026, Elmbridge Borough Council resolved to grant planning permission for a scheme of up to 250 homes on the site following a closely contested committee decision.^[4]

The development includes:

• approximately 50% affordable housing
• around 32 acres of publicly accessible green space (SANG)
• associated infrastructure and transport measures

The proposal attracted significant local opposition, with more than 800 objections raised during the planning process.^[5]

The scheme has been referenced in national coverage of planning reform and the application of “grey belt” policy in England.^[6]

Estwick’s projects typically include a mix of private and affordable housing alongside environmental and landscape elements. His work has emphasised the delivery of publicly accessible green space and integration with existing settlements.^[7]

He has been associated with development strategies aligned with evolving national planning policy, particularly the classification of certain Green Belt land as “grey belt”.^[8]

Estwick has been referenced in national and regional media coverage relating to housing delivery and planning reform in the South East of England, including reporting by the BBC and The Times.^[9]
