Planning applications for Farnham

Every year, several hundred planning applications are made for the Farnham area. These could range from a householder wishing to build a small extension to a developer who has a large-scale project in mind.

The responsibility for deciding the outcome of planning applications lies with Waverley Borough Council which is the Local Planning Authority.

Consulting on planning applications

Before deciding on whether to grant or refuse permission, Waverley Borough Council has to consult with a number of people/organisations. One of these statutory consultees is Farnham Town Council.

Members of Farnham Town Council’s planning consultative group consider every application that is made within the Farnham area and submits comments to Waverley Borough Council.
