To help ensure that the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan Review is sustainable, it is best practice in the UK to undertake a Sustainability Appraisal (SA). An SA is a process that aims to predict and then assess the economic, environmental and social effects likely to arise from the adoption of the Neighbourhood Plan Review. Where a neighbourhood plan could have significant environmental effects, it may fall within the scope of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 and so require a strategic environmental assessment (SEA). In April 2016, Waverley Borough Council issued a screening opinion that an SEA was required to be undertaken for the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan. As the Neighbourhood Plan Review provides for additional housing development to that included in the adopted Neighbourhood Plan, an SEA has been prepared for the Regulation 15 Review. One of the basic conditions that will be tested by the independent examiner of a Neighbourhood Plan is whether the making of the plan is compatible with European Union obligations (including under the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive).

War also saw a number of local After the war the Home took over the ‘Wynberg’ War Hospital (the house with a corner turret, above) across the road A hospitals converted (in part) into as extra accommodation. ‘emergency war hospitals’, such as Brookwood Asylum, the Woking Victoria Hospital and the Woking Maternity Home (Wynberg) – but other local institutions and private residences also played their part such as the Southern Railwaymen’s Home in Oriental Road. The Southern Railway Magazine from May 1940 noted the many meetings between the Board of Managers of the Railwayman’s Home, the Office of Works and the Ministry of Health regarding the take-over of the orphanage. They proudly pointed out the ‘complimentary remarks which have been made as to the high standard of maintenance and hygiene to be found in the Home’ as well as favourable comments regarding the children’s library. The children had already been evacuated to places such as Basingstoke and Guildford, although how much safer they were there as opposed to Woking is perhaps debatable. Another local institution which catered for a number of war wounded was the St Nicholas and St Martin’s Homes at Pyrford run by the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society. Their expertise at dealing with children with various disabilities proved vital in the treatment of servicemen who suffered similar injuries during the war.

  • 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.

  • Bourne Club History – June 2019
    • History History 1920s The Club was built on the site of Bourne Lodge, Farnham, on land purchased from Colonel Phillips in the early 1920s at a cost of £433. Funds for building courts and premises were raised by debentures issued in the amount of £2,500. The first Committee meeting was held on 7th January 1923. Members of the Committee were duly elected, with Sir Stanley Bois becoming the first President, Major Lonsdale the Hon. Secretary and Mr Brierley the Hon. Treasurer. It was unanimously resolved that the Club be called The Bourne Club, and a total of 160 members were recorded. Original 1st Debenture Issued During 1923 it was agreed that four asphalt Tennis courts be constructed, as well as a hall for Badminton, a card room for Bridge, a small tearoom, dressing room facilities and a croquet lawn. 1924 A small office (in the form of a shed) was erected for the Hon. Secretary, near the (currently unused) soft drinks vending machine site. The original front door to the Club was located by the veranda and is now the entrance to the main changing rooms and gym. An account was opened at Lloyds Bank, Farnham. Badminton was played extensively with matches arranged against other clubs in the area. 1925 The first Tennis tournament was held. 1927 It was agreed that since the existing asphalt was not a popular surface, two of the Tennis courts would be converted to “Fernden” courts. These courts required more maintenance, and so the services of a Steward were engaged for this purpose as well as for general Club upkeep.

  • The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London.
