Albury (Surrey) Parish Council
Including Albury, Albury Heath, Brook, Farley Green, Little London and Newlands Corner
In accordance with Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations, Albury Parish Council is publishing its draft Neighbourhood Plan for formal consultation.
The consultation period runs between 13th July – 31st August.
There will be public meetings in the Library and drop in times at the Memorial Library - for full details, click here.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a community-minded and motivated person to take on the post of Parish Clerk and potentially Responsible Financial Officer (RFO) supporting Albury Parish Council in all its ventures for the community. The parish is in rural Surrey southeast of Guildford.
The Parish Clerk and RFO is responsible for the administrative and financial management of the Parish Council affairs, ensuring statutory compliance, maintaining accurate financial records, preparing budgets and accounts for annual audit, advising the Parish Council on governance matters and attending Council meetings. The successful candidate will need to be confident in the use of IT and standard Office software, be flexible, forward-thinking, be able to develop ideas but above all be a enthusiastic administrator.

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

For your information I am writing to advise you of emergency works initiated by Thames Water on Shophouse Lane, Albury.
The works are being carried out under road closure for visible leak .
The expected completion date is 26th February.
The duration for any ‘immediate’ activity, such as a water leak, cannot be initially challenged upon receipt of the permit. However, we do realise unplanned works of this nature can cause inconvenience and our team is liaising with the utilities company for updates on the progress as and when necessary.
We are really pleased to announce that the Albury Cafe will be opening for business again in the Memorial Library from Monday 16th Feb at 10am!!
Really glad to have it back!
