We are currently preparing our Local Development Framework; the Guildford Development Framework (GDF). For further information please see our guide to the GDF.
The GDF will consist of the following:
Development Plan Documents (DPDs)
Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
Strategic development sites
The Slyfield Area Regeneration Project
Saved Local Plan policies
See our Local Plan Webpage
All these documents are subject to a Sustainability Appraisal, Appropriate Assessment and Equalities Impact Assessment where required.
Project plan (The Local Development Scheme)
We have a plan for the production of these documents. It is called the Local Development Scheme (LDS). However, the LDS is currently being updated to reflect our challenge of the South East Plan.
Evidence base
We carry out lots of research to inform the preparation of the GDF documents listed above. See our evidence base page for a full list of all these projects and their progress.
