Local Plan 1999 Chapter 6: Housing

Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 planning policies from the Woking Borough Local Plan 1999 were saved for three years from 28 September 2004, the date of commencement of Section 38 of the Act.

On 25th September 2007, the Council received a direction from the Secretary of State, through the Government Office for the South East (GOSE) that the majority of the policies in the Local Plan can continue to be saved and used until they are replaced. 14 policies were not saved because they were out of date, unnecessary, were not consistent with or repeated national policies. 

Policies HSG1, HSG3, HSG4, HSG7 and HSG17 were not saved.  The table below shows the reasons they were not saved.
