Development between Aarons Hill and Halfway Lane

The application for 262 houses will go to Waverley Joint Planning Committee soon.  Guildford Borough Council has also just included the other ‘half’ of this site in a modification to their Local Plan – this earmarks the other half for a further possible 200 houses.

This modification, along will several others, is now the subject of a consultation until 12pm on 23 October 2018. Anyone wishing to comment on this amendment can do so by submitting comments to the Inspector via GBC at localplan@guildford.gov.uk The schedule of modifications can be found at https:/getinvolved.guildford.gov.uk. Shackleford Parish Council will submit  objections as development at Aarons Hill would mean a loss of Green Belt land, loss of views and openness, damage to the environment and  increased pressure on infrastructure, local services and, most worryingly, the inadequate road network.
