The RSS was required by section 1 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase 2004 (c. 5). Following legal challenges to The South East Plan, bullet point (i) of policy H2 was deleted and policies SP5, H1, LF3 and LF5 were ordered to be treated as not having been approved or adopted to the extent that they specify a particular housing requirement for the borough of Guildford or require a selective review of the green belt boundaries of the borough of Guildford. Under Part 5 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (c. 20), section 1 of the 2004 Act was repealed and the RSS became part of the regional strategy for the region from 1st April 2010.
