More infoResidents fear “traffic chaos” and crumbling services if new plans for a huge new housing estate on the edge of Guildford go ahead. The scheme - marketed as the new ‘gateway for Guildford’- could bring around 4,500 extra people to the area, almost double Burpham. Planning documents state the masterplan includes “significant green space” to soften the impact. Opening these new routes at the earlier opportunity would be a huge bonus.”Martin Grant Homes were invited to comment and have distributed a newsletter to the local community. Comments on the application are welcome until October 1st, with Guildford Borough Council making a decision later in the year.
