Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Report a suspected planning breach

What is a breach of planning?

A breach of planning control can occur when:

  • work that requires planning permission has been undertaken. But, that permission has not been obtained or it has been refused
  • conditions attached to planning permission have not been complied with
  • advertisements have been put up without consent
  • unauthorised work has been done to protected trees
  • unauthorised work has been done to listed buildings

You can check our planning portal to see what projects do not need permission from the council. This will save you time and help us deal with your enquiry quickly.
