Counselling is about empowering you to improve your quality of life - whatever your circumstances.

The group included residents, members of the local Conservation Area Advisory Committee, representatives from a variety of historical, amenity and conservation societies, local Councillors, and officers from Elmbridge Borough Council. Forum Heritage Services and context4D were appointed as heritage consultants to facilitate the project, organize training workshops and co-ordinate and produce the Appraisal and Management Proposals. The designation, review, protection and management of conservation areas are part of the statutory duties of Elmbridge Borough Council as the local planning authority. However, community involvement is essential in understanding the special nature and different issues for each individual conservation area. The Working Group identified many aspects and issues and these were incorporated into the document at its initial draft stages. This document has been the subject of wider public consultation for a six-week period commencing on 30 January 2009 and comments received have informed the final document. This guidance document will be a material consideration with regards to the implementation of saved policies in the Replacement Elmbridge Borough Council Local Plan 2000 (REBLP 2000), and used in the preparation of the Local Development Framework (LDF), as a basis for understanding the area, informing decision making, monitoring and management.
