We work with a wide range of developers, landowners, businesses and private individuals with property interests in the Guildford area. We are active in processing Guildford Planning Applications, which include change of use, self-build, commercial, residential and leisure schemes, conservation areas, green and grey belt.
Guildford as well as being a town in West Surrey, is part of the wider Borough of Guildford with a population of around 145,000. While evidence of habitation goes back to Mesolithic times, it really started as a settlement in the Roman era, particularly from the 2nd Century. The borough contains a number of notable towns and villages including Charlotteville, one of the first planned suburbs in the UK, Bellfield, Skyfield, Staughton and Onslow village. Notable buildings include Guildford Cathedral, Ockham Park House, built in the 17th century and Horsley Towers in East Horsley, built in 1834.
The area is governed by Guildford Borough Council which was formed in 1974, separating it from the rest of Surrey. It operates from historic Millmead House Millmead, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 4B which was built in the late 17th century, and this is where matters concerning the borough’s developments take place, including the local planning authority, and is where Guildford planning permission is granted.
Plande works across the city and its surrounding towns and villages.
