The report by the Consultants Atkins/Ancer Spa commissioned by the Blackwater Network of Authorities (Hants and Surrey County Councils, Bracknell Forest and Wokingham Unitary Authorities and Guildford Borough, Hart District, Rushmoor Borough, Surrey Heath Borough and Waverley Borough) has now been received. This report summarises the main findings of the Study, assesses the three scenarios for future policy direction, suggests ways of developing the wider vision for and role of the Blackwater Valley (especially having regard to the recent Planning Bill which stresses the need to develop and foster joint working), and identifies additional information and resources which will be needed to take the work forward and develop the wider vision for and role of the Blackwater Valley.
A copy of the Executive summary has already been circulated to all Members.
The study has been widely publicised. Parish and Town Councils, interested organisations and other bodies have received copies of the study and have been invited to contribute to the debate. Copies of the Summary document have been made available free at the main Waverley Offices in Godalming and at the Farnham Locality Office.
Comments are sought by 18th July. |
