Town Design Statement
- Town design statement
The pressure to build is greater than ever. Although Farnham Town Council has no power to control the planning process we do have the opportunity to influence new planning policies by putting together our own 'Design Statement'.
The 'Farnham Design Statement' will then be submitted to Waverley Borough Council (the planning authority) for adoption as supplementary planning guidance. The document will define what each of the areas is like and contain design guidelines.
What happens next?
The Farnham Design Statement is now out for Public Consultation until the 30th April 2010.

The consultation will be taken around Farnham - dates and venues to be announced.
How have we put it together?
Over a number of months the Council has collected the information from across the town and its villages. There have been a series of workshops and discussion groups and every local group society in the town and villages has been invited to contribute.
A questionnaire has also been available on line.
The Council has taken all the comments received and put them into the Town Design Statement document.
The Council then did a series of roadshows between the 26 January and 9 February 2010. The roadshows nabled people to comment on whether the document reflected their views, enabled people to add things that were missing and make general comments.
