Advice
Please note that the application was refused on 23rd June 2020 so it is no longer necessary to subject objections however we are leaving this page up in case we need to resurrect it at a later date.
Goldev Woking have now formally submitted two planning applications see below for Kingfield Road and also at Egley Road.
Please help ensure the Council and it’s planning committee make the RIGHT decision for the residents of South Woking and the borough at large, by recognizing that this particular proposal is not in our best interest, as required under section 114 of Council Act 1972.
We welcome investment in Woking FC and the regeneration of the area but in-line with local policy, the character of the area, and the right priority….people before private developer profit.
You can search for the two applications on Woking Borough Council website using the references below:
