The Neighbourhood Steering Group (NPSG) are pleased to be able to share with everyone that the finalised ‘Draft Albury Neighbourhood Plan is now available to view on our website (https://alburyparishneighbourhoodplan.org). The development of this plan has involved a huge effort from a wide number of people, not just the direct Steering Group, so we’d like to acknowledge and thank all those that contributed.
The biggest change to this version of the ANP is the reduction in sites included for the potential development of affordable housing. The rationale for this is advice received from Guildford Borough Council (GBC) Planning suggesting we reduce the number of sites for affordable housing included within the plan.
The next steps for the plan will be a further public consultation with presentation and open forum questions - these will likely take place in July. The ANP will also shared with statutory consultees including GBC Planning, Surrey County Council, Surrey Hills National Landscape to ensure it doesn’t conflict with their policies.
So we’re still in the draft stage albeit, hopefully much closer to the line now.
The dates of the consultation will be shared on the website, social channels and Parish Magazine
