The Guildford Vision Group Steering Committee met on Friday 7th September after the Executive Committee meeting the previous evening.
It was clear that alll present still want to work with the Council to bring forward professional and visionary planning policy documents for the future and that, regrettable though it was that GVG had to resort to legal opinions once its (vindicated) objections have fallen mostly on deaf ears, it was, nevertheless, the right course of action.
GVG welcomes Councillor Palmer’s appointment a few months ago and we are optimistic that a pragmatic path can be built to achieve a Local Plan in 2014 that enables economic development, the provision of housing that local employees can actually afford and that ensures that long-term issues can be resolved during the course of the plan period.
