2.1. The Waverley Borough Council Corporate Strategy 2020-2025 sets out the Council’s commitment to an open, inclusive approach to communications and decision-making. The Council wants to engage with the Waverley community, including hard to reach groups such as young people, in planning decisions. This will ensure that, as far as possible, development proposals meet the needs and wishes of local people, whether this is through the choice of sites or the type and design of development proposed, including measures to address wider impacts on infrastructure and services.
