Notes: In total there is approximately 32 ha of outdoor sports facilities within the Ashtead area, this equates to a provision of 2.38 ha per 1,000 people, which is higher that the District standard.

The facilities that were assessed are all of a reasonable or higher standard. In addition St John’s School straddles the Ward boundary and is included within the figures, but could be expected to provide facilities for residents of Ashtead.

Notes: In total there is approximately 29 ha of outdoor sports facilities within the Leatherhead area, this equates to a provision of 3.03 ha per 1,000 people, far higher than the District standard, however much of this is due to the specialist sports nature of the schools in the area.

The facilities are generally of a good standard but there are a number of sites of only poor or reasonable quality.
