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.

This states that a landscape character assessment linked to criteria based policy approach should provide sufficient protection for these areas provided such designations are based on a formal and robust assessment of the qualities of the landscape concerned. Against this background, Chris Burnett Associates (CBA) were commissioned to undertake a review of the Surrey AGLV by the Surrey Planning Officers Association. (SPOA) The study commenced with a review of historic background. It established that the Surrey Hills AONB is closely linked with the designation of the AGLV. The first County Plan approved in 1958 showed the first AGLV area, which was a smaller area incorporating the North Downs escarpment and the area of Greensand Hills surrounding Leith Hill.

Introduction 1.1 This note has been commissioned by the Tandridge Lane Action Group (TLAG) and prepared by Landscape Architects, Arc Ltd and provides a desk‐top review of published Green Belt and landscape assessments of the site known as Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey (hereafter referred to as ‘the Site’). 1.2 The Site’s western extent falls within Reigate and Banstead Borough Council (RBBC) and the eastern extent within Tandridge District Council (TDC) – see Figure 1. 1.3 The purpose of the note is to review previously published Green Belt Assessments and landscape appraisals of the Site and review the available evidence identifying landscape opportunities and constraints which would inform its capacity to accept large scale residential development such as a garden village. 1.4 This note is based on a desk‐top review of publicly available sources and a site visit was not carried out. It also does not provide a detailed sequential comparison between the landscape capacity of the Site and the other potential candidate sites for a garden village (South Godstone and Blindley Heath).

    Issue 1 Spring / Summer 2015 Surrey Dormouse Group Newsletter Welcome to the first issue of the Surrey Dormouse Group Newsletter! Thank you for supporting SDG as we venture into our first season of independence. We now have 78 members and are continuing to grow. Your help and financial support will ensure we continue to monitor dormice across Surrey, and provide safe and secure places for them to nest. The 2015 season is now well under way. It got off to a good start in March, with several dormice being found, including the big fellow in the top photo – 25g is a pretty impressive weight after 25g dormouse found in March (photo courtesy of Martin D’Arcy) months of hibernation! Many of the dormice found so far this year have been torpid, which makes for nice photo opportunities, but may be a reflection of shortage of food and / or cold weather. The other interesting trend this year seems to be the unusually high number of dormice found in empty boxes – making nests is so last season. The small number we saw last year has probably already been exceeded. In this issue: Torpid dormouse (photo courtesy of Kathryn Killner) • How was 2014 for Surrey dormice?
