Election results

Local government in Surrey is changing, from 1 April 2027, Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council will be replaced by a new unitary authority called West Surrey Council.

Visit our election pages for the results of the council elections held on 7 May.

Timetable for our Local Plan

We are preparing a new timetable in line with Government's new plan-making process.

This will replace our current timetable reflected in our Local Development Scheme, 2025. This is necessary as there are new 2026 Government regulations for plan-making, which we need to follow.

Our Local Development Scheme 2025 (PDF, 241 KB)(opens new window) shows:

  • what documents we'll prepare
  • when we'll prepare them

This was agreed by the Council's Executive on 27 February 2025. View the decision and the papers.
