  • Farnham Neighbourhood Plan Review Sustainability Appraisal
    Farnham Neighbourhood Plan Review (Regulation 15) Sustainability Appraisal/ Strategic Environmental Assessment Farnham Town Council December 2018 1 Contents Section 1 Introduction 3 Section 2: Key Sustainability Issues 10 Section 3: Sustainability Objectives 13 Section 4: Testing the Neighbourhood Plan Review Objectives 14 Section 5: Sustainability Appraisal of Development Options 19 Section 6: Sustainability Appraisal of Neighbourhood Plan Review Policies 29 Section 7: Conclusions 32 Appendix 1: Topic-based assessment of Farnham Baseline situation and Key 34 Issues Appendix 2: Sustainability Appraisal/ Strategic Environmental Assessment of 73 Policies Appendix 3: Sustainability Appraisal/ Strategic Environmental Assessment of 171 submitted housing sites not included in the Regulation 15 Neighbourhood Plan Review 2 Section 1 Introdiction What is Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Appraisal? 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).

It is fine at any time of the year, but especially in the spring because of the lambs and the bluebells. ?

Your dog is welcome, with a lead of course. The walk begins at the car park opposite the White Horse pub in Has- combe, Surrey, www.w3w.co/ swordfish.composed.myself , postcode GU8 4JA .

Charter Quay, Kingston ... excavations and other archaeological w o r k 1 9 9 8 - 9 Introduction Redevelopment of a 1.65 ha site in Kingston provided a rare opportunity for large- scale excavations by Wessex Archaeology within the core of the medieval town, funded by St George West London Ltd. Earlier fieldwork between 1988 and 1990 both north and south of the Hogsmill River had revealed several medieval waterfront revetments, and a c 0.55 ha excavation south of Emms Passage between the High Street and the Thames waterfront provided evidence of industrial, commercial and domestic activity, and phases of flooding and reclamation. More recent excavations in late 1998 examined a large area south of the Hogsmill River (Trenches 1 and 2) with limited trial work north of it. After Emms Passage was closed, two further areas were investigated in January 1999 immediately adjacent to Trenches 1 and 2, and a watching brief was undertaken during the basementing for a car park south of the Hogsmill River. The latest excavations from March to June 1999 were restricted to land north of the Hogsmill River and began with two more trial trenches and a small excavation undertaken during demolition.

  • 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.
