A Village Design Statement (VDS) highlights the qualities, style, building materials, characteristics and landscape setting of a parish, which are valued by its residents. The background, advice and guidelines given herein should be taken into account by developers, builders and residents before considering development. The development policies for the Frensham Parish area are the “saved Policies” derived from Waverley Borough Council’s Local Plan 2002, (which has now been superseded. It is proposed that the Frensham VDS should be Supplementary Planning Guidance, related to Saved Policy D4 ‘Design and Layout’. Over recent years the Parish Council Planning Committee, seeing very many applications relating to our special area, came to the conclusion that our area has individual and special aspirations that we wish to see incorporated into the planning system. Hopefully this will make the Parish’s aspirations clearer to those submitting applications to the Borough Council and give clear policy guidance. This document cannot be exhaustive but we hope that we have included sufficient detail to indicate what we would like to conserve in our village, and how we would like to see it develop. This VDS is a ‘snapshot’ reflecting the Parish’s views and situation in2008, and may need to be reviewed in the future in line with changing local needs, and new Waverley, regional and national plans and policies.

    Business and Budget Planning 2019/20 MVDC BUSINESS AND BUDGET PLANNING 2019/20 CONTENTS 1) Introduction 3 2) Council Strategy 2019-24 5 3) Corporate Values 6 4) Annual Plan 7 5) Performance Indicators 9 6) Business Plans 14 7) Strategic Risk Register 73 8) Revenue Budget Summary 80 9) Capital Programme 81 10) Council Minutes for Budget Proposals 82 11) Council Tax Resolution 85 12) Fees and Charges Principles 87 13) Fees and Charges Schedule 88 INTRODUCTION The financial outlook for Mole Valley District Council (MVDC) contains a degree of uncertainty: • The implementation of the changes to the local government funding system, (Fair Funding and Business Rates Retention), was originally intended for April 2019. However, this has been deferred, by one year, to April 2020. Consequently the magnitude of any fall in the Business Rates retained by MVDC will not be confirmed until late 2019. • Both the Joint Waste Contract and the Asset Investment Strategy are not yet fully implemented, and the final financial benefit is not yet confirmed, although it is clear that both will generate a significant financial gain. • Equally, it is too early to confirm the increase in revenue from ‘pay and display’ charges implemented in August 2018. Therefore the principles of caution, prudence and focus on value for money that have characterised the Council’s approach to its budget in recent years, have been maintained while setting the budget for 2019-20 and for the medium term financial plan. Any further significant additions to the Capital Programme will either require funding from a ‘capital receipt’, (sale of a Council asset), or from borrowing.

  • Frensham Great Pond and Common Site Amenities Upgrade Project Pdf 976 Kb
    WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL EXECUTIVE - 01 MARCH 2016 Title: FRENSHAM GREAT POND & COMMON SITE AMENITIES UPGRADE PROJECT [Portfolio Holder: Cllr Simon Thornton] [Wards Affected: Frensham, Dockenfield and Tilford] Note pursuant to Section 100B(5) of the Local Government Act 1972 An annexe to this report contains exempt information by virtue of which the public is likely to be excluded during the item to which the report relates, as specified in Paragraph 3 of Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, namely:- Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). Summary and purpose: The purpose of this report is to provide the Executive with an update on progress in delivering the Frensham Great Pond and Common amenities upgrade project and to seek various approvals to progress the project further. How this report relates to the Council’s Corporate Priorities: Customer Service Through a proposed revision to car park management on site, there will be improved customer service delivery from the Council’s ranger team, who will be able to spend more time managing the site and the visitors rather than taking car parking income. Environment The project supports the Environment, by protecting the Frensham Common and Pond SSSI through the careful planning and designing of the scheme and ensuring this development is sensitive to the planning constraints of the local area. The proposed area for the new building and reconfigured carpark is just outside the SSSI area. The building will aspire to be as close to zero carbon as possible, with the use of sustainable materials throughout as well as minimum energy requirement during its operation.

  • The Cranleigh Railway Line
    Reinstating Rail and River Routes from Guildford - The Cranleigh Railway Line This article relates to a planning application WA/2020/0004 dated 02 January 2020 and placed before Waverley Borough Council by the Wey and Arun Canal Trust. It concerns the conflicts of interest that arise between various organisations; together with a wider question about transport infrastructure and connectivity at both local and national levels Our colleagues at Gru- Guildford Railway Users Group recently alerted us that a Waverley Council decision is still pending for the planning application to which both Gru, The Guildford Society and others have objected. Since the application date, various transport reports and government announcements have also been made which we feel have a bearing on this decision. Opened In 1816, The Wey & Arun Junction Canal linked the Wey Navigation near Guildford to the south coast via the Arun Navigation. It was intended to provide a safe, efficient route from the River Thames and London to Portsmouth to carry goods supplying the naval dockyards. However, the arrival of the railways led to its demise and by 1871 it was formally closed and over the passing years the canal fell into a state of disrepair and non-use. WACT is gradually trying to reinstate the canal that used to connect these two navigable rivers between the Thames and the South Coast and have had loyal support and much success in restoring many miles of waterway for use by leisure craft. However, a number of canal sections remain to be joined up and the WACT have various projects towards this aim.

These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
