How Local government reorganisation (LGR) can affect the new local plan
Local government reorganisation starts on 1 April 2027. West Surrey Unitary Authority will replace:
- Guildford Borough Council
- Runnymede Borough Council
- Spelthorne Borough Council
- Surrey Heath Borough Council
- Waverley Borough Council
- Woking Borough Council
Existing councils are preparing local plans for these areas.
England has a plan-led planning system. The government expects all areas to have a local plan by 2029.
