Warner Planning positively engaged with the community to submit a planning application to Woking Borough Council to demolish a Locally Listed building in Woking, Surrey and erect a new 4-storey building forming 49 Extra Care apartments for older persons with associated communal facilities, parking and hard and soft landscaping.
A Statement of Community Involvement supported the application which resulted from a consultation process with both the public and stakeholders, whereby the principle of the development was supported overall.
Key challenges including the loss of the community facility, and the impact on the setting of a statutory listed building were overcome through collaborative working with the council and the supporting Consultant Statements submitted by Warner Planning as part of the application.
The application was recommended for approval at Committee by the Planning Officer subject to conditions and a S106 agreement.
In December 2021 the application was approved by Woking Borough Council.
