The Wisley Lane Diversion will be via Wisley Lane to Lock Lane to Pyrford Road and then the A245 to Painshill.
Our diversion routes are designed to suit all vehicle types.
We advise you not to use a Satnav when following any of our diversions because there is a risk it could direct you down an unsuitable road or back onto our network when it is closed.
We will do all we can to keep disruption to a minimum, but there may be delays at peak times, so we encourage you to plan your journey.
Junction 10 is the busiest section of the M25 with over 300,000 vehicles passing through every day.
Our improvements will reduce congestion, create a smoother flow of traffic and provide safer journeys for thousands every day.
Our scheme will see:
- New and safer routes for cyclists, pedestrians and horse-riders
- An additional lane on the A3 in both directions from Ockham and Painshill junctions towards the M25
- A larger roundabout with extra lanes to increase capacity
- Free flow left turns at all four corners of the junction
- Improvements to the A245 Seven Hills junction and Painshill roundabout
- Safer access to Old Lane, Elm Lane, Heyswood campsite and San Domenico
- Improvements to the local environment and wildlife
Our scheme will
- Improve safety and journey times
- Reduce congestion
- Smooth the flow of traffic
- Increased capacity
- Provide better connections
- Improve access for cyclists, pedestrians and horse-riders
- Support local and national economic growth
Heathland is one of the UK’s most threatened environments and is a vital habitat for a range of invertebrates, reptiles, and bird species.
We’re restoring large areas of heathland at Wisley and Ockham commons. This long-term process starts with the removal of trees, which might seem concerning at first, but it is the first step to getting it back to its natural state.
Learn more about our tree removal works and why they are needed
Our scheme involves some of the most extensive environmental mitigation ever carried out by National Highways.
More than 16 hectares of land will be used to replace common land and public open space that is needed to improve the junction.
We’re also enhancing other areas of woodland using selective clearance. This involves thinning out conifers to improve the abundance of broadleaf, structurally complex woodland that is more in keeping with the historic landscape and home to a wide range of species.
This work will encourage regrowth and increase the variation of height and age of trees. New areas of native tree and shrub species, which are best suited to the conditions here, will also be planted along and around the roads.
We’ll make sure we leave a lasting environmental legacy that will benefit Ockham and Wisley Common for years to come.

Consultation documents 2017
The Development Consent Order (DCO) process was established by the Planning Act 2008 and is used for certain large and complex schemes that have been designated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) by the Government.
The Secretary of State for Transport granted the Development Consent Order (DCO) for the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange improvements on 12 May 2022.
Links to key DCO documentation can be found below:
- Examining Authority’s report and recommendations to the Secretary of State for Transport
- Secretary of State for Transport’s decision letter and statement of reasons
- Development Consent Order as made by the Secretary of State for Transport
You can view our full Development Consent Order application on the Planning Inspectorate website.
Current scheme plans and documents are listed at Article 45 in Schedule 11.
Development Consent Order – Requirements Register
Requirements are planning conditions included in the DCO that relate to all or part of the works. They each require documents to be prepared, consulted upon by defined organisations and submitted to the Secretary of State for approval. These processes are referred to here and in the DCO as “discharging” the requirements.
This Requirements Register is a live document and will be updated as the process to discharge the requirements progresses.
The latest version will always be published below:
View the Requirements Register.
This register will be maintained for three years following completion of the project. The register sets out:
- each requirement
- whether the requirement needs approval by the Secretary of State (or other duty holder)
- whether any approval has been applied for or given
