Godalming Greenway Gateway

We are grateful for the support shown by many residents and stakeholders for the proposed Godalming Greenway Gateway route option at Phillips Memorial Park. The project reflects our ongoing commitment to improving sustainable travel and enhancing public spaces across the borough.

However, following feedback received, we have taken the decision to withdraw the current planning application. This will allow us time to carefully consider the concerns raised and explore how best to move forward whilst preserving the core aims of the project.
