The three schemes assessed are: • Gatwick Airport Second Runway (Gatwick 2R) promoted by Gatwick Airport Limited (GAL); • Heathrow Airport Northwest Runway (Heathrow NWR) promoted by Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL); and, • Heathrow Airport Extended Northern Runway (Heathrow ENR) promoted by Heathrow Hub Limited (HH). In April 2014, an Appraisal Framework was published by the Airport Commission which identified the methodology that was to be used to further assess the three shortlisted schemes, (Airports Commission, 2014a). This report has been prepared in accordance with the Appraisal Framework and considers the environmental implications of the proposed schemes on Place. The sub-topics identified in the Appraisal Framework to be considered within the assessment of Place impacts are: • Planning and land take; • Landscape, townscape and waterscape; • Heritage; and • Waste. Each of the sub-topics is addressed as separate assessments with their own methodology and combined within this single overall report. The assessment uses the ‘Do Minimum’ baseline information in the Place: Baseline report, (Jacobs, 2014f). Land Take The land take assessment is a desk based review of the type and quantity of land take (classified by its land use and coverage) for each of the three shortlisted airport schemes. This review has looked at direct land take and property loss required for the Airport expansion areas. In addition, potential impacts from surface access construction and flood storage areas have been considered. These areas have been defined based on Jacobs’ assessment of the airport development footprint and surface access requirements as provided by the scheme promoters. Areas affected by high noise levels which could be subject to planning constraints and areas within Public Safety Zones (PSZs) where planning restrictions apply to minimise risk to life in the event of an airport accident have also been considered. The results of Jacobs’ assessment have been compared against the information provided by each of the scheme promoters to identify areas of difference. Direct land take and potential indirect land use impacts have been identified separately. The analysis undertaken is based on the mapping shown in the accompanying Place Figures report. i AIRPORTS COMMISSION PLACE: ASSESSMENT Executive Summary Gatwick Airport Second Runway Land Take Assessment The land take associated with the proposed Gatwick Airport Second Runway (Gatwick 2R) expansion and the areas potentially affected by surface access construction 1 is estimated as 624 ha and 78.2 ha respectively. No agricultural land within the land take area was found to be with grades 1 or 2. Approximately 189.3 ha is ALC grade 3 and 172.9 ha is ALC grade 4, whilst the rest is of unknown classification. A total of 168 residential properties lie within the predicted Gatwick 2R expansion land take and are likely to need to be demolished. An additional 37 residential properties are within the 100m buffer that has been applied either side of the proposed transport infrastructure routes and could potentially be lost to the surface access improvements depending on detailed route and construction design. Approximately 9.2ha of the proposed airport expansion for the Gatwick 2R scheme is within designated Green Belt. Heathrow Airport Northwest Runway Land Take Assessment The land take associated with the proposed Heathrow Airport Northwest Runway (NWR) airport expansion and potential land affected by surface access construction 2, is approximately 568.8 ha and 294.2 ha respectively. An additional 42.9 ha of land is identified for flood storage. Of the potential agricultural land lost, approximately 181.5 ha is Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) grade 1, 2 or 3 land (grade 1, 2 and 3a is considered as best and most versatile agricultural land). An additional 19.1 ha of grade 1 and 3 ALC land lies within the flood storage areas identified. The quality of the remaining agricultural land is not classified. A total of 783 residential properties lie within the Heathrow NWR airport expansion land take and are likely to need to be demolished. An additional 289 residential properties are within the 100m buffer that has been applied either side of the proposed transport infrastructure routes and could potentially be lost to the surface access improvements depending on detailed route and construction design. Approximately 431 ha of the Heathrow NWR airport expansion is within designated Green Belt land. As a result the development would significantly change the land use within this Green Belt area which was designated to control urban sprawl and maintain largely undeveloped land between urban areas. Heathrow Airport Extended Northern Runway Land Take Assessment The land take associated with the Heathrow Airport Extended Northern Runway (ENR) airport expansion and potential land affected by surface access construction 3 is approximately 335.7 ha and 329.8 ha respectively. An additional 57.3 ha of land is identified for flood storage. 1 Areas potentially affected by surface access infrastructure construction are based on a 100m buffer area defined either side of each route; this is intended as an indicative area appropriate for this strategic stage given uncertainties in route alignment, design and construction approaches. 2 As above. 3 As above. ii AIRPORTS COMMISSION PLACE: ASSESSMENT Executive Summary Of the potential agricultural land lost, approximately 69.1 ha is ALC grade 1, 2 or 3 land (grade 1, 2 and 3a are considered best and most versatile land) and the classification of the remaining area is unknown. In addition, a further approximately 27 ha of grade 1 to 3 land lies within the flood storage areas. A total of 242 residential properties lie within the airport land take and are likely to need to be demolished.

    The EARLY HOUSES of CHARLWOOD 1400 - 1840 From map of Surrey by NORDEN, 1594. CHARLWOOD'S NEIGHBOURS. Compiled by Jean Shelley, 2005 THE EARLY HOUSES OF CHARLWOOD, 1400 - 1840 CONTENTS Introduction 1 Notes 2 Glossary and Development 3 Summaries of Individual Houses 9 Hearth Tax and Tithe Map 1840 48 Maps of the Parish and the Village in 1840 49 Owners and Occupiers 51 Tree Ring Dating 53 Natural Resources 54 Dating of Main Features Inside Back Cover Parish Boundary Changes, 1976 Back Cover INTRODUCTION Great tribute is due to Joan Hording MBE. FSA. and Peter Gray, both now sadly deceased. They were both members of The Surrey Archaeological Society and The Domestic Buildings Research Group and did enormous work in recording the early houses of Charlwood. The importance of these houses needed to be pointed out as Charlwood was threatened with total demolition to make room for the expansion of Gatwick Airport. Lady Farrar asked the Archaeological Society if they had members who might do this and she organised the project. All the house owners agreed and were most helpful. This was the first time ever that all the early houses of one parish had been recorded and now years later we remain the parish with the largest number of recorded medieval houses. I came into the scene as I was interested in local history and had a copy of the Tithe Map, (1840). Also Joan and Peter needed another person to hold the tape, I quickly volunteered and learnt much from them in doing so, for which I thank them both very much.

They enjoy choosing from a wide variety of exciting resources and activities. The manager effectively gains and acts on the views of parents to help with the evaluation of the nursery. Relationships with parents are strong and encourage meaningful communication about the well-being and development of children. Staff value all children and meet their individual needs effectively. Children develop good relationships with all staff, which help them to feel happy, safe and secure. Staff support children's language development very well. For example, they encourage lots of conversations based on children's interests and listen carefully to what children have to say. Children and babies make good progress from their starting points. Staff are clear and consistent about how they expect children to behave. For example, they are kind and patient as children learn how to share and consider each other's needs. Children behave well and learn good social skills. It is not yet outstanding because: The processes for monitoring staff practice and ongoing professional development are not yet sufficiently effective to raise the quality of teaching to an outstanding level.

    Table 4.7: Summary of known Romano-British remains within Updated Scheme Design area Romano-British Location Significance Potential for currently settlement sites unknown sites 1 – RPS 114 (possible Horley Land Unknown Moderate - high (includes occupation area) Farm, now (possibly landscape and industrial Gatwick car park Medium) elements) east of railway 2 – RPS 405 – three Land east of Low north-south aligned London Road field-boundaries of possible RB date Saxon (AD 410 – AD 1066) Local Settlement 4.59 Settlements of early Saxon date are rarely identified in the Weald, despite place-name evidence that indicates encroachment into the Wealden forest for farming or pannage. By the late Saxon period the Weald had been sparsely settled. There are no Anglo-Saxon sites noted on the HERs/EH Archives within the updated scheme design area or the wider Study Area. However, a gully traced for about 20 m at the Gatwick North West Zone produced three sherds of Saxon pottery (Framework Archaeology 2001, 13). 4.60 The presence of at least late Saxon occupation is implicit in the local place-name evidence including Gatwick itself. However, the relatively large-scale archaeological excavations at Horley (ASE 2009; ASE 2013) and Broadbridge Heath (Margetts 2013) failed to identify archaeological evidence for Saxon settlement and it is possible that such evidence would also be elusive within the updated scheme design area. The place-names of most of the principal villages and hamlets of the wider Study Area reflect clearances in woodland. For example the Old English place-name ‘Charlwood’ emphasizes the largely wooded nature of the area in the Anglo-Saxon period, meaning ‘Wood of the freemen or peasants’ (Mills 1998).
