We're asking for your feedback on our draft Climate Change Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). This document guides decision makers in assessing how sustainable planning applications are, as part of the planning application process. The consultation is open until midday 9 August, 2024.

Our draft SPD provides detailed formal guidance on adopted Guildford Local Plan policies that deal with:

  • climate change mitigation
  • climate change adaptation
  • sustainable design and construction
  • low and zero carbon energy.

This guidance is to replace our Climate Change, Sustainable Design, Construction and Energy SPD.

How to have your say:

You can view our draft SDP online (opens new window) or in person. Printed copies are available to view at our Millmead office and libraries across the borough.
