In May 2010 Haslemere Town Council voted that a Haslemere Design Statement (HDS) should be drawn up for the
Haslemere area. Once adopted by Waverley Borough Council (WBC) it will become a ‘material consideration’ when
planning applications are considered.
A group of enthusiastic and committed residents, representing various organisations / groups have since been
meeting regularly. They have consulted widely at every stage and taken expert advice, when needed, to complete
this project.
Three informal public consultations took place in Autumn 2010 and, in addition, residents were able to access
questionnaires online or collect them from various locations. As a result over 4,400 comments were received. These
have been carefully analysed and have been taken into account in the compilation of this HDS draft.
The draft document has been scrutinised by WBC to ensure conformity with Planning legislation.
It would be most appreciated if you could take time to view and read this draft HDS which can be downloaded in full or
section by section below.
In addition, hard copies of the draft can be seen from 2pm to 9pm on each of the following dates:
Tuesday 31st January at Haslemere Museum,
Wednewday 1st February at The Hub,Beacon Hill
Thursday 2nd February at Haslewey
Should you consider that anything could usefully be added please would you email us at hds@haslemere.com to
detail your observations. Your comments must arrive before Sunday 26th February.
