Take part in a short survey to help make sure those websites are easy to use. The survey takes just 5 to 10 minutes.

Strategic Development Framework SPD

Read the Strategic Development Framework SPD (PDF, 18 MB).

This SPD contains guidance for the the future work on sites we allocated for development in the Local Plan, including:

  • planning
  • masterplanning
  • development

It also outlines our aims for design quality.

It's aimed to: 

  • establish design principles for delivering high quality and sustainable schemes 
  • provide illustrative plans which can inform detailed masterplanning for each site 
  • provide key considerations linked to delivering the scheme 
  • outline the requirements which planning applications for these sites must meet 

The SPD links to the following locations: 

  • Slyfield Area Regeneration Project. Now known as Weyside Urban Village (Policy A24 of the Local Plan) 
  • Gosden Hill Farm (Policy A25) 
  • Blackwell Farm (Policies A26 and A27) 
  • Ash and Tongham Sites (Policies A29-A31)
  • Former Wisley Airfield (Policy A35)

We adopted the SPD on 21 July 2020. Check the adoption statement (PDF, 93 KB) and documents from the council meeting (opens new window). We consulted on the SPD during June and July 2019.  

We also carried out a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA). Read our determination statement (PDF, 489 KB).
