  • East Horsley Neighbourhood Plan
    EAST HORSLEY NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2017 - 2033 ADOPTED VERSION East Horsley Neighbourhood Plan FOREWORD BY CATHERINE CARR Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group A considerable amount of work has gone into the preparation of this neighbourhood plan and I would like to thank everyone who gave their time and effort to make it possible, whether by being part of our policy teams or task groups or by helping with the surveys and Open Days that formed a key part of our consultation process. I would also like to thank all the people who took the time to complete our surveys or attended our various meetings and who supplied the views which underpin the policies proposed in this plan. In March 2016 our Village Survey asked the basic question: How do you regard East Horsley as a place to live? No less than 93% of respondents said that it is either a ‘wonderful’ or a ‘good’ place to live. Having spoken with so many people of different ages and backgrounds across East Horsley in connection with the plan I am not at all surprised. So many of us have a great affection for our village and want it to continue to evolve successfully and to remain a great place to live, now and in the future. Accordingly, this plan aims to deliver the following vision for the future of East Horsley in the year 2033, the concluding date for our neighbourhood plan: VISION FOR EAST HORSLEY IN 2033 In 2033 East Horsley thrives as a distinctive and vibrant village. It retains its village feel and characteristic features, including its high-quality and varied housing, its heritage assets and its leafy rural setting.

  • East Horsley Parish Council
    June17th 2014 East Horsley Parish Council This is an application by East Horsley Parish Council under regulation 5 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (the "Regulations") for the designation of the Civil Parish of East Horsley, Surrey as a neighbourhood area. The Area The area in question relates to the Civil Parish of East Horsley, with boundaries as shown on the map below:- Page | 1 Statement - Why the Parish of East Horsley is appropriate to be designated as a Neighbourhood Area East Horsley is a civil parish within the administrative area of Guildford Borough Council. East Horsley covers 740 hectares, lying between the parishes of Effingham, West Horsley, Ockham and Abinger. It abuts the parish of West Horsley on its western boundary but otherwise is surrounded by farmland and open spaces, some of which is Woodlands Trust (Great Ridings Wood) or Surrey Wildlife Trust (Holliers Wood). To the south of the Parish, there is the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, encompassing Effingham Forest on the North Downs. For planning purposes the village is completely in the Metropolitan Green Belt. The settlement area is semi-rural and is defined by Ockham Road North and South, Forest Road and Epsom Road (A246). To the south of the A246 the Parish is rural. The boundaries are shared with Effingham, West Horsley, Ockham and Shere. As underlined by the fact that each of the Parish Councils of East and West Horsley are making separate applications under the Regulations for designations of their respective Parishes, each community regards itself as having very much a distinct identity with very different histories, characteristics and dynamics to the other.

    Agenda item number: "Click to insert number" Report for Executive Head of Development Author: Dan Knowles Tel: 01483 444605 Email: [email protected] Lead Councillor responsible: Councillor Stephen Mansbridge Tel: 01483 444102 Email: [email protected] Date: 28/08/2014 Proposed neighbourhood areas in East Horsley and West Horsley Recommendation That the Executive Head of Development designates the areas enclosed by the East Horsley parish boundary and West Horsley parish boundary, shown on the map at Appendix 1, as neighbourhood areas. Reason(s) for Recommendation: To comply with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, and to reflect the Council’s evaluation of the proposed neighbourhood areas following public consultation. 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 To set out the reasons for the recommendation to designate two neighbourhood areas (NA) following the East Horsley and West Horsley parish boundaries. These are the boundaries proposed by the East Horsley Neighbourhood Area application (Appendix 2) and West Horsley Neighbourhood Area application (Appendix 3). To inform the Executive Head of Development of the current situation following public consultation and consideration by planning officers. 2. Strategic Priorities 2.1 The Council’s Corporate Plan includes a strategic priority of achieving sustainability (page 9). Designating a neighbourhood enables the local community to bring forward a neighbourhood plan. Neighbourhood plans must be aligned with national policy, and must therefore contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and help the Council meet this strategic priority. 1 Agenda item number: "Click to insert number" 2.2 This strategic priority includes protecting, improving and sustaining both our natural and built environments.

  • Guildford Borough Settlement Profiles
    Guildford borough Settlement profi les July 2013 1.0 Executive summary This document provides contextual information regarding each settlement in Guildford Borough Council. It should be read alongside the Village Hierarchy study in which we have scored, ranked and categorised each settlement according to a range of considerations. This review used sustainability indicators such as the availability and accessibility of services and facilities, and a functional score to assess how well our rural settlements work. We used the following categories: • urban area • semi-urban village • large village • medium village • small village • loose knit village / hamlet Figure 1 below shows the considerations we used to assess each settlement in order to compile the new settlement hierarchy. It also illustrates the linkages and overlap between these two documents. We have included detailed information regarding the environmental sustainability indicators, contextual information such form and character, and commentary regarding how well each rural settlement functions. We based the latter on feedback we received from each representative parish council. The functional score is split into a range of headline statements, further information of which is available in appendix one. Please note we have considered those settlements categorised as loose knit villages or hamlets (small groupings of homes) together, at the end of the document. This document is a technical study, and therefore it is not a consultation document. Given that much of this information is subject to change, this will be a living document. We will update it as and when newer information is made available to us. If you have specific information about settlements in Guildford borough that would help us to update this hierarchy in the future, we would be interested to receive it.
