The Plan also includes an Infrastructure Schedule. We'll review and change it as we work on the Local Plan.  

The latest Infrastructure Schedule is Appendix 6 of the Local Plan. 

Infrastructure baseline 

The Infrastructure Baseline study was used to inform the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. It examines Guildford's existing infrastructure. This includes the following types: 

  • physical 
  • community 
  • social 

The plan reviews: 

  • type 
  • quality 
  • existing capacity 

For some infrastructure types, it notes any plans which shaped past development.
