Submission Local Plan: Strategy and Sites - Main Modifications - Part 3: Appendices

Appendix E: Superseded Policies

Many of the Guildford Borough Local Plan 2003 policies are 'saved' policies and still used in determining planning applications.

The Guildford Borough Local Plan 2003 policies not saved by the Government Office in September 2007 and no longer in use are policy H1 Housing provision, H10 New residential development, S1 Major new retail development, Proposal GT4 Seeboard site, RE7 Protection of the best and most versatile agricultural land, HE11 Scheduled ancient monuments and other sites and monuments of national importance and U1 University of Surrey.

The table below shows which Local Plan 2003 policies are superseded by new Local Plan policies within this Strategy and Sites document. The remainder of the Guildford Borough Local Plan 2003 policies remain extant and will be reviewed through the second part of the Local Plan: Development Management Policies, with the exception of policy M8 (Guildford to Cranleigh Movement Corridor) which is not saved.
