Countryside Strategy

The Countryside Strategy for Woking is to set out the Council's policies for protecting and enhancing the Borough's precious countryside resource. The aims of the Strategy are:

  • to protect and where possible enhance the Borough's 'natural' environment;
  • to ensure that there is equal opportunity for residents to have access to open spaces, wildlife and the countryside;
  • to broaden opportunities for the enjoyment of wildlife and the countryside whilst balancing recreational demand with the need to protect the Borough's biodiversity;
  • to increase general awareness and understanding of issues relating to the Borough's countryside through publicity, education and community participation;
  • to encourage support and co-ordinate the works and involvement of the community, interest groups and public bodies.
