Following Angela Richardson MP's letter to the Secretary of State Michael Gove MP, on the planning application at North Street, the Department have issued an Article 31 notice on the application.
This means that the development cannot be approved by the Planning Committee at Guildford Borough Council until the Secretary of State has decided whether or not to call in the application. The Committee can still meet to consider the application’s merits or to reject it.
Angela said: "I welcome the prospect of redevelopment at this important site in the town centre, however, we must ensure that any development is right, suitable and accounts for concerns raised by residents and stakeholders."
