Guildford Borough Council’s consultation on the Berkeley Homes planning application 26/P/01289 for 600 dwellings on Effingham Lodge Farm, north of Lower Road closes on Saturday 21st November. There are currently over 150 objections posted but more have not yet been loaded. We understand residents are having problems using the planning portal and it keeps going down – it is currently, but we need as many objections as possible. We suggest If you are having problems using the planning portal the quickest and easiest way is to email your objection to planningenquiries@guildford.gov.uk per method 2 below. You don’t normally get a receipt and it does take time to be uploaded, but it will count.
A few residents have submitted their objections as comments on this website, but they will not be accepted by Guildford Borough Council if we forward them. The only methods acceptable to Guildford are listed below and are also detailed in our Newsletter that is currently being delivered to residents. You can also access the Newsletter here.

I object to the development in lower Road opposite Howard if Effingham School by Berkeley Homes. The area is already congested , doctors full, stations car parks full, schools full, the land is green belt and the fact that it took Berkeley homes over 10 years to decide not to build a new school for Howard where my kids go to and we’ve been promised a new school all those years.
Hi, the objection needs to be sent to planningenquiries@guildford.gov.uk. Please copy your objection text and send from your personal email address. Thank you.
