Planning policy
The Planning Policy team is responsible for preparing the Council's planning policies and proposals to guide future development of the Borough in line with national and regional planning policy.
In 2004 the Government introduced a new requirement for local authorities to prepare a Local Development Framework (LDF). This is a suite of planning documents that will set out the Council's future planning policies and eventually replace the Local Plan.
In 2007 most of the planning policies set out in the Woking Borough Local Plan 1999 were 'saved' as part of the Local Development Framework. This means that they can continue to be used until such time as they are replaced by new policies.
Not all of the policies remain in use as some of them have been out dated by more recent national and regional planning policy.
