The Woking Borough Local Plan was adopted by the Council on 27 August 1999. It set out the Council's policies for the development and use of land and included the key considerations for determining planning applications.
In September 2007 most of the policies of the Woking Borough Local Plan were 'saved' as part of the Local Development Framework, which means that they can continue to be used until they are replaced by new policies in the Local Development Framework. Some Local Plan policies have been outdated by more recent national and regional planning policy.
The Council has produced a number of Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) to amplify the policies of the local plan.
