The site comprises an area of previous clay extraction at the north of the site, a farm building and commercial storage with hardstanding at the southern portion and grassland on the rest of the site. Grove Heath North is the name given by Guildford Borough Council to this site, through pre-application discussions.
The site sits within designated Green Belt in the Guildford Local Plan and within Lovelace Ward & Neighbourhood Plan Area. It is being promoted as a development site within the emerging Local Plan. This sustainable location offers the opportunity to meet current NPPF policies on appropriate Green Belt development and help deliver the NPPF’s new homes target for Guildford Borough Council
