There’s no doubt about it Waverley Town and Borough Councillor Paul Follows is certainly keeping his finger on Godalming’s pulse. The town’s new boy is digging deep into development plans which could have a huge impact on the town’s future. We are sure others are doing the same -but are not quite so vocal? So the WW will go with the man who has his fingers on the keyboard.
Here’s what is being proposed now that ‘Your Waverley” is rolling back the Green Belt around Godalming.
UPDATE RE: OCKFORD PARK.COMMENTSS FROM SURREY HIGHWAYS AND NATURAL ENGLAND
Two of the main concerns that have been raised by residents so far have been regarding traffic and the environment.
Paul’s view:
The application (on the Waverley planning portal) has now had two important comments logged against it – one from Natural England and one from Surrey Highways.
NATURAL ENGLAND
NE has in this case requested some more information about some of the protected animal and plant species that may be present: read its full comments here:

SURREY HIGHWAYS
SH has commented upon the methodology the applicant has employed, the mitigations proposed and other related matters and a number of other areas. It’s a bit of read but I really would welcome any comments on this.

Last week along with other Waverley councillors he attended a session with Ashill, (the developer) Surrey Highways and other Waverley Councillors to informally discuss the application – so Paul welcomes any general queries.
He was also a guest of Witley Parish Council (also discussing the application and the potential impact upon their area).
Oh Boy – Waverley’s new boy, certainly gets around!
Happy to discuss on here or at Paul.follows@waverley.gov.uk
