  • North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements
    Biodiversity Opportunity Areas: the basis for realising Surrey’s ecological network Appendix 6: North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog's Back ND02: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Guildford to the Mole Gap ND03: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Mole Gap to Reigate ND04: North Downs; Epsom Downs to Nonsuch Park ND05: North Downs; Banstead Woods & Downs and Chipstead Downs ND06: North Downs Scarp; Quarry Hangers to the A22 ND07: North Downs Scarp; Woldingham ND08: North Downs; Banstead & Walton Heaths December 2015 Investing in our County’s future Surrey Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statement Biodiversity Opportunity Area ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog’s Back Local authorities: Guildford, Waverley Aim & justification: The aim of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) is to establish a strategic framework for conserving and enhancing biodiversity at a landscape-scale, making our wildlife more robust to changing climate and socio-economic pressures. BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

    Taylor Wimpey - Former Wisley Airfield Working together to develop our sustainable community 16th & 18th July 2020 Online Community Consultation Question and Answers Friday 24th July 2020 On the 16th and 18th July 2020 we held our first online community consultation events for the former Wisley Airfield. These events were a great opportunity for us to share our vision for the site with the local community, receive your feedback and answer your questions. Thank you to everyone who managed to attend one of the sessions, we really appreciate all the questions that were submitted during the events and we endeavoured to answer as many as we could. However, due to time constraints it was not possible to get through all of the questions. We greatly appreciate your feedback and it is important to us that we answer all questions that were asked. Thus, we have put together this Question and Answers document to provide the answers to all your questions. This document has been separated into key topics from your feedback and includes the questions asked by the public during the community consultation events within each of these key topic sections for ease of references. Due to the number of questions we have consolidate some that were similar in scope into under questions of the same topic. We appreciate your understanding that due to these unprecedented times and restrictions on large gatherings we opted for the online community consultation as a means of engaging with you all. It is important to us that the community is evolved and has an input from the beginning of the masterplan design process – working together to develop our sustainable development If you have a question we haven’t covered in this document, you can contact us at [email protected].

  • Chipstead to Kingswood Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Chipstead to Kingswood walk Ancient woodland, open downs and farmland in London's Green Belt Length Main Walk: 15½ km (9.6 miles). Three hours 55 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 7½ hours. Circular Walk, returning to Chipstead: 13¾ km (8.5 miles). Three hours 25 minutes walking time. Short Walk, omitting loop to Mugswell: 11 km (6.8 miles). Two hours 45 minutes walking time. Short Circular Walk, omitting Mugswell: 9¼ km (5.7 miles). Two hours 15 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 146. Chipstead, map reference TQ276583, is in Surrey, 6 km S of Sutton. Toughness 5 out of 10 (4 for the Circular Walk, 3 for the Short Walks). Features Just outside the London boundary, this undulating walk takes in a varied landscape of ancient woodland, open downs and farmland. You will have plenty of company in the popular recreational areas of Banstead Wood and Chipstead Downs, but few dog- walkers venture across the railway into the network of footpaths, horse rides and quiet lanes which make up the walk's middle section. Near the start the main route follows a substantial part of the Banstead Woods Nature Trail, with panels along the trail highlighting the diversity of species. This ancient woodland was an important source of compass timber until the mid-19thC: large curved or crooked pieces of oak artificially shaped to make specialised sections for the wooden naval ships of that era. More recently the trunks of felled trees have been utilised by a local tree artist to create a series of sculptures illustrating the CS Lewis Narnia books.
