INTRODUCTION 1.1. Neighbourhood Plans Lovelace comprises the villages of Ripley, Ockham and Wisley. To understand why Lovelace have chosen to have a Neighbourhood Plan, it is helpful to know a little of the process of deciding planning applications and land use in England. The highest level is the countrywide Town and Country Planning Act 1990, from which Councils prepare a Development Plan for their county. In Surrey, Local boroughs, e.g. Guildford Borough Council (GBC), then prepare a Local Plan (LP) for their district. All plans cover housing needs and infrastructure requirements and Local Plans allocate sustainable sites in the borough for housing, both strategic and non-strategic. The Localism Act 2011 introduced a further planning level, the Neighbourhood Plan (NP), designed to help Councils, e.g. Guildford Borough Council, to make planning decisions informed by more local level policies shaped by the communities most likely to be affected by them. The Lovelace Neighbourhood Plan (LNP) must be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the adopted GBC 2003 Local Plan (GBC 2003 LP), but it is sensible also to give regard to the GBC Emerging 2017 Local Plan (GBC 2017 LP) which was submitted for examination in December 2017. All Plans must conform to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) guidelines, which offer guidance on suitability of locations, and other matters. 1.2. Why Lovelace? In 2014 Ripley Parish Council resolved to take advantage of this new opportunity by preparing a Neighbourhood Plan for the area. After consultation with adjacent parishes, it was decided that the most appropriate area for such a plan would be the Lovelace Ward of Guildford Borough, which includes the villages and civil parishes of Ripley, Ockham and Wisley. As all three civil parishes will be similarly affected by major development proposals, major road network changes and other factors over the next decade or so, it is sensible for the Lovelace Neighbourhood Plan to cover the whole Ward. The first step was Guildford Borough Council designating Lovelace as a Neighbourhood Plan Area in February 2015. Ripley and Ockham Parish Councils agreed to a working party of volunteers setting up the Lovelace Neighbourhood Plan Group (LNPG) with the aim of providing a draft neighbourhood plan for consideration by the people of Lovelace Ward. The makeup of the LNPG is defined in the LNPG Constitution, which is available on our website at http://lovelaceplan.co.uk/get-involved/the-constitution-of-the-group. Page 8 of 142 1.3. Legislative Backing The Lovelace Neighbourhood Plan (LNP) has been drawn up in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the Planning Policy Guidance, (PPG), the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Localism Act 2011 and the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 (amended 2016). It is in general conformity with the strategic policies in the adopted Guildford Borough Council 2003 Local Plan and has regard to the Emerging GBC 2017 Local Plan. Once accepted, the LNP will be in force for 15 years, i.e. between 2019-2034, unless superseded by a later version, and will inform all planning decisions in the area. The regulations emphasise the importance of the policies contained within it accurately reflecting the views of the stakeholders in the area, including the residents, local businesses, community groups and frequent visitors. The LNPG has carried out public and targeted surveys which have formed the objectives and policies of this plan. (Appendix 2). 1.4. The Plan Document The purpose of the LNP is to: 1. Define how and where development takes place during the next fifteen years, whilst accepting that it cannot interfere with the selection process of major strategic local sites. 2. Provide guidance for developers and planning authorities as to the character, density and other parameters which all future developments must meet. The most important part of our plan is the list of policies contained in Section 6 and set out in detail in the following pages. Each of these covers a different aspect of the development framework for the area. It is these policies, and their supporting documents, against which planning applications will be assessed.

  • Guildford Borough Settlement Profiles
    Guildford borough Settlement profi les July 2013 1.0 Executive summary This document provides contextual information regarding each settlement in Guildford Borough Council. It should be read alongside the Village Hierarchy study in which we have scored, ranked and categorised each settlement according to a range of considerations. This review used sustainability indicators such as the availability and accessibility of services and facilities, and a functional score to assess how well our rural settlements work. We used the following categories: • urban area • semi-urban village • large village • medium village • small village • loose knit village / hamlet Figure 1 below shows the considerations we used to assess each settlement in order to compile the new settlement hierarchy. It also illustrates the linkages and overlap between these two documents. We have included detailed information regarding the environmental sustainability indicators, contextual information such form and character, and commentary regarding how well each rural settlement functions. We based the latter on feedback we received from each representative parish council. The functional score is split into a range of headline statements, further information of which is available in appendix one. Please note we have considered those settlements categorised as loose knit villages or hamlets (small groupings of homes) together, at the end of the document. This document is a technical study, and therefore it is not a consultation document. Given that much of this information is subject to change, this will be a living document. We will update it as and when newer information is made available to us. If you have specific information about settlements in Guildford borough that would help us to update this hierarchy in the future, we would be interested to receive it.

  • Parish Magazine – July 2018 Issue Train Service at Gomshall
    Parish Magazine – July 2018 issue Train service at Gomshall cut - the Parish Council is extremely disappointed that the time- table for trains stopping at Gomshall has been reduced and caused huge inconvenience for many of our local residents. Briefly, Great Western Railway have said that because certain train times have changed, the interconnections don't co-ordinate and so the decision has been taken to cut out certain trains stopping at Gomshall. This is a national issue and questions have been raised in parliament about the chaos caused by wholescale changes in timetables. For the Parish Council's part, it will be doing everything it can to lobby for resumption in services. The Parish Council is represented on a local consumer group set up by the railway authority to improve customer services on the North Downs line; it will liaise with the Chairman of Guildford Local Committee who is trying to promote the North Downs line and will write to the MP in the strongest possible terms. A fuller report on this topic is in the Village Voices section of this magazine. Improvement plans from your Borough Council – Guildford’s Deputy Leader, Matt Furniss, recently presented some of their planned initiatives to the Parish Council. They include: improvements to junction 10 of the M25 with the A3, in 2022 – 2024 - this is an accident blackspot with a lot of congestion A3 widening between the Stoke junction and Guildford Cathedral, also a currently heavily-congested spot two new stations serving Guildford: Guildford West, next to the hospital, and Guildford East, at Merrow.
