  • The Planning Group
    THE PLANNING GROUP Report on the letters the group has written to Guildford Borough Council about planning applications which we considered during the period 1 January to 30 June 2020 During this period the Planning Group consisted of Alistair Smith, John Baylis, Amanda Mullarkey, John Harrison, David Ogilvie, Peter Coleman and John Wood. In addition Ian Macpherson has been invaluable as a corresponding member. Abbreviations: AONB: Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty AGLV: Area of Great Landscape Value GBC: Guildford Borough Council HTAG: Holy Trinity Amenity Group LBC: Listed Building Consent NPPF: National Planning Policy Framework SANG: Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace SPG: Supplementary Planning Guidance In view of the Covid 19 pandemic the Planning Group has not been able to meet every three weeks at the GBC offices. We have, therefore, been conducting meetings on Zoom which means the time taken to consider each of the applications we have looked at has increased. In addition, this six month period under review has been the busiest for the group for four years and thus the workload has inevitably increased significantly. During the period there were a potential 993 planning applications we could have looked at. We sifted through these applications and considered in detail 89 of them. The Group wrote 41 letters to the Head of Planning Services on a wide range of individual planning applications. Of those applications 13 were approved as submitted; 8 were approved after amending plans were received and those plans usually took our concerns into account; 5 were withdrawn; 10 were refused; and, at the time of writing, 5 applications had not been decided.

The theatre is owned and directly operated by Guildford Borough Council. The conversion of the building to the Electric Theatre was due to successful lobbying from the Guildford Amateur Theatre Association (GATA) who also provided technical equipment. A legal agreement gives GATA priority booking rights and concessionary hire rates. The Council has been considering the role the theatre plays in contributing to the overall performing arts provision in Guildford. It is important to the Council that any decisions on the future of the Electric Theatre are taken in the context of the other performing arts venues and affordability in light of competing priorities for the Council’s declining revenue budget. A stakeholder workshop was held at the Electric Theatre in March 2014 with an aim to understand the cultural offer, purpose and future of the theatre.

  • Land at Heath Drive, Send, Woking
    LAND AT HEATH DRIVE, SEND, WOKING ________________ OPINION ________________ Introduction and Summary of Advice 1. I am instructed by Send Surrey Ltd (“ SSL ”) to advise in relation to the intended future residential development of a 2.51ha parcel of greenfield land situated at the north-western corner of the village of Send (the “ Site ”). The northern and western boundaries of the Site abut the Wey Navigation Canal, with the southern edge bordering existing residential developments on Heath Drive and Send Road. The eastern edge of the Site is currently delineated by the headquarters of Vision Engineering Ltd and undeveloped land, now forming a consented scheme for the erection of a factory and 23 residential dwellings. The relevant local planning authority is Guildford Borough Council (the “ Council ”). 2. The Council is preparing a new Local Plan for the period 2013-2033 which it has published for the purposes of Regulation 19 (the “ Proposed Submission Local Plan ”). The Proposed Submission Local Plan promotes the removal of the Site from the Green Belt, supported by a Green Belt boundary review (the ‘Guilford Borough Green Belt and Countryside Study’). The review concludes that there are better and more defensible Green Belt boundaries elsewhere to inset the village, resulting in the removal of the Site from the Green Belt. That conclusion was based on Send’s high density and distribution of development (including along Send Road), the sense of enclosure resulting from that development and the Wey Navigation Canal as a recognisable and defensible Green Belt boundary to the immediate north of the Site. Those conclusions are, as a matter of planning judgment, entirely sensible and coherent.
