Recovered Appeal: Sandown Park Racecourse, Portsmouth Road, Esher Our ref: APP/K3605/W/20/3249790 Chloe Ballantine Your ref: 2019/0551 Rapleys First Floor 33 Jermyn Street LONDON SW1Y 6DN 12 May 2021 Dear Madam TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 – SECTION 78 APPEAL MADE BY JOCKEY CLUB RACECOURSES LTD LAND AT SANDOWN PARK RACECOURSE, PORTSMOUTH ROAD, ESHER APPLICATION REF: 2019/0551 1. I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of David Prentis BA BPl MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry between 16 November and 1 December 2020 into your client’s appeal against the decision of Elmbridge Borough Council to refuse your client’s application for planning permission for: hybrid planning application for the redevelopment of sections of Sandown Park Racecourse involving: outline application for development/redevelopment of sections of the site to replace/ modify existing operational/associated facilities, and to provide up to 150 bedroom hotel (Use Class C1), family/community zone, residential development up to 318 units (Use Class C3) and to relocate existing day nursery (Use Class D1), all with car parking, access and related works following demolition of existing buildings and hardstanding (for access only); and full application for the widening of the southwest and east sections of the racecourse track including associated groundworks, re-positioning of fencing, alterations to existing internal access road from More Lane and new bellmouth accesses serving the development, ref. 2019/0551, dated 18 June 2019 (see paragraph 6 of this letter below). 2. On 15 June 2020, this appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State's determination, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Inspector’s recommendation and summary of the decision 3. The Inspector recommended that the appeal be dismissed. 4. For the reasons given below, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector’s conclusions, and agrees with his recommendation. He has decided to dismiss the appeal. A copy of the Inspector’s report (IR) is enclosed. All references to paragraph numbers, unless otherwise stated, are to that report. Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government Tel: 0303 444 3594 Andrew Lynch, Decision Officer Email: [email protected] Planning Casework Unit 3rd Floor Fry Building 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF Environmental Statement 5. In reaching this position, the Secretary of State has taken into account the Environmental Statement which was submitted under the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017. Having taken account of the Inspector’s comments at IR9, the Secretary of State is satisfied that the Environmental Statement complies with the above Regulations and that sufficient information has been provided for him to assess the environmental impact of the proposal. Procedural matters 6. The application was initially submitted on 22 February 2019 incorporating ownership Certificate A. Subsequently, a revised planning application form was submitted on 18 June 2019 incorporating ownership Certificate B, notice having been served on an owner of part of the site (IR3). Matters arising since the close of the inquiry 7. On 6 January 2021 the Secretary of State received a letter from Dominic Raab MP attaching representations made on behalf of Save Esher Green Belt and Esher Residents’ Association. The Secretary of State is satisfied that the issues raised have been considered, and no other new issues were raised in this correspondence to warrant further investigation or necessitate additional referrals back to parties. A list of representations which have been received since the inquiry is at Annex A. Copies of these letters may be obtained on request to the email address at the foot of the first page of this letter. 8. An application for a partial award of costs was made by Jockey Club Racecourses Ltd against Elmbridge Borough Council (IR1). This application will be the subject of a separate decision letter. Policy and statutory considerations 9. In reaching his decision, the Secretary of State has had regard to section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which requires that proposals be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. 10. In this case the development plan consists of the Elmbridge Core Strategy (2011) (CS) and the Elmbridge Development Management Plan (2015) (DMP). The Secretary of State considers that relevant development plan policies include those set out at IR16-22. 11. Other material considerations which the Secretary of State has taken into account include the National Planning Policy Framework (‘the Framework’) and associated planning guidance (‘the Guidance’), as well as the Design and Character Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) together with a Companion Guide: Esher and The Developer Contributions SPD (IR23). A Green Belt Boundary Review (GBBR) forms part of the evidence base for the emerging Local Plan review and is relevant to this appeal as referred to at IR297-305. 12. In accordance with section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (the LBCA Act), the Secretary of State has paid special regard to the desirability of preserving those listed buildings potentially affected by the proposals, or 2 their settings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they may possess. 13. In accordance with section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (the LBCA Act), the Secretary of State has paid special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of conservation areas. Main issues Green Belt 14. The Secretary of State has given consideration to the Inspector’s analysis (IR297-305) of site character and contribution to Green Belt purposes. For the reasons given there, he agrees with the Inspector that Sandown Park racecourse as a whole contributes to Green Belt purposes 1, 2 and 3 as set out in paragraph 134 of the Framework (IR305). 15. The Secretary of State has considered the Inspector’s analysis of the extent to which the appeal proposals could be regarded as facilities for outdoor sport and/or recreation (IR306-IR313). While he agrees with the Inspector’s reasoning and conclusions on this matter, as set out at IR306, he further agrees that it makes little practical difference which approach is taken because it is necessary to consider the effect on openness in any event (IR306). Given that the Secretary of State also agrees with the Inspector’s findings on openness and purposes, discussed below, he agrees that this matter is not important to the overall assessment. 16. For the reasons given in IR314-315, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector that the appropriate way to analyse these proposals in terms of Green Belt policy is to look at the sites individually first, before drawing higher level conclusions about the scheme as a whole. 17. For the reasons given at IR316-317, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector that sites A, C, E1, E2 and F would not amount to inappropriate development. 18. With regard to Site B (Hotel), the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector for the reasons given at IR318-322, that the proposals would amount to inappropriate development and would result in substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt (IR322), bringing it into conflict with policy CS24 (IR462). 19. In respect of Site D (works to car park), he further agrees with the Inspector for the reasons given at IR323-326 that the proposals would fail to preserve openness and would therefore be inappropriate development (IR325) and that more intensive use for car parking would have an urbanising effect that would conflict with one of the purposes of including land in the Green Belt (IR326). 20. For the reasons given at IR327-332, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector that residential sites 1 and 2 would each result in substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt, and would therefore amount to inappropriate development (IR328 and IR332). 21. With regard to residential site 3, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector for the reasons given at IR333-343 that the proposals would amount to inappropriate development (IR333), would cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt 3 (IR339), and would cause significant conflict with the purposes of including land in the Green Belt, in particular with purposes 1, 2 and 3 (IR343). 22. For the reasons given at IR344-349, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector that the proposals for residential site 4 would amount to inappropriate development (IR344), would result in substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt (IR348), and would amount to a conflict with purpose 3 (IR349). 23. With regard to residential site 5, the Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector for the reasons given at IR350-353 that it should be regarded as previously developed land for the purposes of the Framework (IR350), but that the proposals would lead to substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt, and would, therefore, amount to inappropriate development (IR353). 24. The Secretary of State agrees with the Inspector at IR354 that the new view from More Lane is a minor consideration which does not materially alter his overall conclusions on Green Belt matters. 25. Overall, the Secretary of State agrees with the inspector at IR356 that viewed in the round, the appeal proposals as a whole would amount to inappropriate development, would also result in substantial harm to openness and would represent a significant conflict with the purposes of including land in the Green Belt. He attaches substantial weight to this harm. Character & Appearance 26.

  • Surrey Future Congestion Programme 2014
    Congestion Programme 2014 i Foreword Surrey is renowned for its strong economy and high quality environment of open countryside and historic market towns. It is a great place in which to live, work and do business. However, congestion and past lack of investment in transport infrastructure are having a negative impact on Surrey’s economic competitiveness. Managing congestion on Surrey’s roads – which are some of the busiest in the country - is urgently needed to improve traffic flow and to avoid wasting time in traffic jams and losing business through delayed journeys. Surrey Future, which brings together local authorities and businesses to agree strategic infrastructure priorities for Surrey, have developed this Congestion Programme to help ensure Surrey’s economy remains strong and that planned growth set out in local plans is managed in a sustainable way. Building on the Surrey Transport Plan Congestion Strategy (2011), it sets out a strategic programme for tackling Surrey’s road congestion problems. We consulted with a wide range of residents, businesses and organisations during 2013 on a draft version of this Congestion Programme, and a number of changes have been made to this final version as a result of the comments we received. Those who responded broadly supported the aims and approach of the programme and we will work together with businesses, Local Enterprise Partnerships, new Local Transport Bodies and Government to help deliver our programme. We would like to thank all those who responded and contributed to making this programme as relevant and up-to-date as possible. Local Transport Strategies are now being developed for each district and borough and there will be consultations on these during 2014.

    Elmbridge Borough Council Green Belt Boundary Review Annex Report 2 - Local Area Assessment Pro-formas Issue Rev C | 14 March 2016 This report takes into account the particular instructions and requirements of our client. It is not intended for and should not be relied upon by any third party and no responsibility is undertaken to any third party. Job number 243074-00 Ove Arup & Partners Ltd 13 Fitzroy Street London W1T 4BQ United Kingdom www.arup.com Local Area 1 Area (ha) 453.1 Location Plan Strategic Area Strategic Area C lies on the fringes of a much wider area of strategic Green Belt which extends Summary across much of Surrey. Its strategic role in Elmbridge is to prevent the town of Oxshott / Cobham from merging with Ashtead and Leatherhead / Bookham / Fetcham in Mole Valley, though it is also important for preventing encroachment into open countryside. Much of the Area retains an unspoilt and open, rural character, though in some isolated localities ribbon development along roads and the loss of arable farmland to horse paddocks has diminished this character somewhat. At the strategic level, the Strategic Area plays an important role in meeting the fundamental aim of Green Belt policy to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open. Assessment of the Strategic Area against the relevant NPPF Purposes is as follows: - Purpose 1 – Meets the Purpose moderately by acting as an important barrier to potential sprawl from the Guildford urban area, Ash and Tongham urban area, Dorking, and Leatherhead / Bookham / Fetcham / Ashtead. - Purpose 2 – Meets the Purpose strongly by establishing important gaps between a number of Surrey towns from merging into one another.

  • The Park House Stables Newsletter
    The SUMMER 2012 KINGSCLERE Quarter THE PARK HOUSE STABLES NEWSLETTER The KINGSCLERE Quarter HALF OVERVIEW The story of the 2012 flat season so far has undoubtedly been the unusually wet weather which has wreaked havoc with some of the trainer’s best-laid plans. Certainly, the fast ground horses just haven’t had a fair crack of the whip at all but, due to the fact much of our fast work is done on grass, I am sure some of the horses have conditioned themselves to handling softer ground than maybe would have otherwise been the case. Despite the conditions we have managed to reach 50 winners this term, which has us comfortably on target for where we want to be numerically at the end of the season SIDE GLANCE winning the Diomed Stakes (G3) at Epsom on Investec Oaks Day and to have hit the £700,000 mark in prize money at this stage is a very good haul. Front cover: AUTUMN FIRE wins at Chepstow under David Probert The obvious highlight of the season so far was Bonfire’s Back cover: Team photo reappearance win in the Dante. It was just fantastic to be involved in the subsequent preparation of a leading CONTENTS contender for the Derby and I know everybody connected with the horse thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Though HALF TERM REVIEW, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 ultimately the bid for a Derby winner didn’t end as desired, ANDREW BALDING it would be nice to think in the future we could go through 2012 TWELVE TO FOLLOW COMPETITION, 10 & 11 it all again and have a better end result.
