The Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) is being produced as part of the Guildford Development Framework (GDF). The DPD will allocate specific sites for development to meet the need for a range of uses including employment, retail, residential, leisure and transport.
As part of the Early Stakeholder and Community Engagement stage many potential development sites were suggested to us. From 21 November 2007 until 30 January 2008, we consulted on the suggested sites as part of the Issues and Options consultation. We received over 4000 responses to the consultation.
Summary of responses
A summary of the responses we received to the Site Allocations Issues and Options consultation is available to download from the links below. Please note, this is a summary of the comments most frequently made, rather than a repetition of all the comments received. The summary does not include the additional site suggestions made during the consultation. These will be included in a further consultation at a later date.
The summary can be downloaded by ward or as a whole document. The summaries are best read in conjunction with the original consultation documents, which are still available to download at the bottom of this page.
What happens next?
We are preparing a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) which assesses the suitability of all sites suggested for residential development. When this work is completed, it will inform a further Site Allocations consultation.
How can I be involved?
We directly inform everyone on our mailing list of future Guildford Development Framework (GDF) consultations and send out a GDF newsletter. If you wish to be notified directly of future consultations please contact the Planning Policy team using the details below and we will add you to our mailing list.
Can I still view the recent consultation documents?
