Speaking up for Guildford's past, present & future 

Guildford Local Plan - LOCAL PLAN HEARING REOPENED

The Guildford Society (GSoc) and Guildford Vision Group (GVG) have welcomed the decision by the examining inspector Jonathan Bore to re-open the Local Plan hearing to consider new housing numbers in the light of revised, lower Office of National Statistics (ONS) projections. The inspector has asked the council to propose dates for another hearing session. 

Both societies are also requesting the examining inspector allows the reopened public hearing to  consider the council’s proposed new town centre policy (S3) wording, not just the housing numbers.  See our full response to the Main Modifications at this link
