There was no change in the party composition of the council, with the Conservatives holding all 13 seats they had been defending, while the Liberal Democrats held the other seat contested in Warlingham East, Chelsham and Farleigh.[3] This left the Conservatives with 34 councillors, compared to 6 for the Liberal Democrats and 2 independents.[4] Overall turnout at the election was 42.57%.[5]

The UK Independence Party failed to win any seats, but came second in 10 of the 14 seats contested.[6] They reduced the Conservative majority in many of the wards, coming closest to taking a seat in Godstone, which was held by the Conservatives with a majority of 68 votes.[4] There was only one new councillor elected, with Maureen Young holding the Conservative seat in Dormansland and Felcourt that had been held by fellow Conservative Michael Sydney before he stood down at the election.[7]
