Challenges for the future (1) • Need to increase hours of use whilst reducing resource consumption for natural turf (improved sustainability) • Water footprint of 1m3 per round of golf in Spain • Carbon footprint of 400 g CO2e per round in UK • Solution: • Improved water use efficiency • Grass breeding (drought, wear and pest resistance + reduced mowing) • Soil amendment • Rootzone design (less sand, less water, less fertiliser) Challenges for the future (2) • Need improved understanding of injury on natural turf • Solution: • Further study of player-surface interaction • Epidemiology studies • Improved (relevant) characterisation of surfaces Challenges for the future (3) • Improved resilience to a changing climate • Solution: • Research into mitigation and to improve resilience • Understanding the role of sports surfaces in flood prevention • Improved facilities strategies at national level • Improved education Conclusion • The modern sports surface is a huge improvement on those of 20-30 years ago. • Unsustainable solution for all but a small percentage of sports facilities in the future • The modern natural turf surface is vulnerable and not the final answer – further work required (plenty of evidence to support this).

    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.

WEST END VILLAGE HALL – a call for support The Hall is the much-loved heart of our village, and is used extensively by many local organisations. Our occupancy ratio across the year is very high at about 75% – almost all the term-time morning and afternoon sessions are fully booked throughout the year. The Hall is home to a wide range of users. Morning term-time sessions are booked by West End Playgroup, and afternoon users include dance classes, Bloo House School and the Bridge Club. Eve- ning users include the Cercle Francais, Soundbath, Ember Lodge, and West End Film Club. As many of you probably know from personal experience, the Hall is very popular as a venue for children’s parties at the weekend. There are a number of evening sessions available for anyone who would like to book the Hall. The Hall is run by a group of trustees nominated from users of the hall, together with village representatives. Most of the trustees have served on the committee for many years. I am very grateful to the management committee of Kay Moulton as lettings secre- tary, and Di Gibson for her work in organizing maintenance for the Hall. Paul Gibson has recently taken over as treasurer. After 18 years as lettings secretary Kay will be retiring at this year’s AGM, and we will be seeking a replacement.
