The recent publication from the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) of Greenbelt Statistics confirms that Guildford has seen a 6% reduction in Greenbelt land. This is due to policies adopted in the new 2019 local plan.
Currently the villages that were inset (plain english – removed) from the Greenbelt in the local plan are seeing a number of developments being bought forward. The Society is concerned that several of these are proposing out of scale developments with little regard to infrastructure requirements.
Help us make Guildford better
We want our town to be vibrant, attractive and liveable. We support development that brings a sense of place and enhances the best aspects of our town. If such aims can be embraced, we believe Guildford has the chance to lead the way in enabling sensitive and sustainable development.
Pressures for development are increasing. Planning rules are being eased. The Society’s commitment to standing up for Guildford is needed more than ever.
