Many questions were raised over the integrity of some of the evidence used to support the Issues & options questionnaire that GBC (Guildford Borough Council) used to form the basis of the Local Plan. Dissatisfied by planners' continued claims that the evidence was 'robust' (including the highly controversial Countryside & Greenbelt study), residents came together to share expertise, pool ideas and
work alongside other leading Organisations, who wish to protect one of Surrey's and indeed this Country's most important assets, its countryside and its Greenbelt. We support and work alongside other local Organisations,
We favour Countryside development that supports the countryside eg. parks, gardens, walks, fishing, cycling routes, organic farms, film location etc
We favour underground carparks, urban regeneration and intelligent use of brownfield sites that optimise rather than minimise their use. We support the building of new homes, particularly affordable homes for LOCAL NEED. We believe this can be done, without building on Greenfield / Greenbelt sites and without spoiling the character of Guildford town centre. We do not support building on Greenbelt, AONB or greenfield sites. We did not support removal of Greenbelt protection from Villages.
