Editor's Notes
- Last time we held a meeting was Nov 2013 for Issues & Options consultation
- Last time we held a meeting was Nov 2013 for Issues & Options consultation
- Issues and options proposed removal of 16 villages from the green belt – result would be a developers free for all Normandy Flexford Fairlands Wood Street Village Peasmarsh Shalford Chilworth Shere Gomshall Jacobs Well Ripley Send Send Marsh & Burntcommon West Horsley East Horsley Effingham
- Last night’s press statement made no mention of the importance of the greenbelt Reviewing the 20,000 responses SO early January CAYMAN ISLAND OWNERS of the TFM site have put in a planning application
- Meaning of OUTLINE permission Permission is only being sought for the accesses They say the one onto the roundabout they have permission for New access onto Old Lane just beyond the Black Swan The application paperwork is in many places misleading beyond belief eg Misrepresenting the site as the largest area of brownfield land in the borough (which it isn’t) - the Inspector only ruled on 16 ha or less than 15% Nine stations within 5 miles – yes if you are a crow Statements implying that eg NE have agreed to mitigation when an FOI confirms this is not true Poor agricultural land – grade 4 or worse yet advertised last year by Knight Frank as Grade 3 Many more
- What MAY it be like Buildings of up to 5 storeys high
- = same number as East and West Horsley put together School places – HoE no places but could this change and might they displace Horsley children Trains – noted that the Guildford MP said no seats on the 7.17 this am – imagine what it will be like with 25% more people Parking – our photos from last year show almost no spaces in Effingham or Horsley station car parks AIR QUALITY The worst air quality in the borough is unsurprisingly at close to Junction 10 well in excess of EU limits According to GBC this isn’t a problem because no one lives within 450m Doing more work on this but buried in the application are some AQ readings from the applicant who took readings last summer
- Lovelace 1.02 Clandon & Horsley 2.6 Surrey 6.93 TFM 105 Islington 138 Population density 40 x Horsley & Clandon ward
- Proposals only From Horsley Going to Effingham Negotiate roundabout – expect queuing Going to Cobham Negotiate double roundabout – more queuing Going to A3 S(via Old Lane and Forest Road) Negotiate double roundabout – allegedly quicker entry to A3 Going to Ripley/Send Two lane entry at roundabout – long queue as 5000 more vehicles on the road New roundabout in Ripley – more queues Going to London Anticipate long queues at roundabout From Ockham Going to Guildford No access to Guileshill or Old Lane – all traffic through Ripley Going to Cobham Plough Lane closed – through Chilbrook or via roundabout at Forest Road Coming Home No access from M25 via Old Lane All traffic through development or along Ockham Road North From A3 S All traffic through roundabout, expect queues in Ripley and at roundabout From A3 N All traffic through Ripley or via Ripley Lane to West Horsley

- NE response to Draft Local Plan said “Natural England has serious concerns” and “it is unclear how the nearby roads will cope with such large increase in traffic as a result” No consideration anywhere of the impact on residents or wildlife in the build phase English Heritage note the impact of increased traffic in Ockham Road North NFU claim that we import 40% of our food today – UKRAINE big cereal exporter - Fields alone soak up over 300,00 Mt of rainfall each year
- Over 300m long
- Over 300m long
- Thanks particularly to: Harry Eve and Brian Wolfe for work on traffic RHS for financial support Guildford Greenbelt Group for policy support and fighting for the “silent majority”
- Consider very carefully how you vote in May
