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. 

The plan which is currently used to guide development proposals in Woking Borough is the Woking Borough Local Plan 1999.  

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.
