On the 21st - 23rd January 2026 (hearing time estimate three days), Guildford Borough Council (the “Claimant”) will be attending the High Court to ask for a Final Injunction against the Land.

In addition the Council will also seek a number of mandatory steps to form part of the Final Order requiring the removal of all unauthorised development.
This includes all hardstanding, fencing, building and structures and all unauthorised uses including unauthorised storage and residential uses.
