Employment Land Assessment is a further Local Plan document that assesses how much employment land GBC are likely to need within Guildford borough to 2031. In the report employment floor space means all commercial and industrial uses which fall into classes B1, B2 and B8 of the Use Classes Order, and also some stand-alone uses such as car showrooms (see table in the introduction). The ELA uses three recommended approaches to estimate future employment land and floor space requirements and provides an estimate for a range of additional floor space that the new Local Plan should provide to meet the borough's identified employment needs. In the report GBC compare the estimate for additional floor space to the current potential capacity and identify possible future sites for employment land to ensure there is a degree of choice and flexibility of floor space to ensure that the local property market can operate efficiently.

Most conservation areas are designated by the Council as the local planning authority.

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is an area of high scenic quality which has statutory protection in order to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of its landscape. AONB landscapes range from rugged coastline to water meadows to gentle lowland and upland moors. They are different from National Parks because of their more limited opportunities for extensive outdoor recreation. Natural England has a statutory power to designate land as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
