Lovelace Neighbourhood Plan referendum 

A referendum on the Lovelace Neighbourhood Plan was held on 6 May 2021. A majority of residents voted in favour of the Neighbourhood Plan, so:

  • it will form part of Guildford's Development Plan
  • we'll use it to help decide on planning applications in the neighbourhood area

For more information on the referendum, check the neighbourhood referendum results
