White Lion Place White Lion Place Cobham Surrey A Painshill Park, Cobham Located on Portsmouth Road, in the heart of Cobham, White Lion Place is an exclusive collection of 30 newly-built and converted houses, apartments and duplexes, designed with retirement in mind. The six converted properties are the result of Beechcroft’s careful conversion of a Grade II listed building that played a major role in Cobham’s history. The former White Lion was the first stop on the stagecoach route from London to Portsmouth and, whilst the elevations are mainly 18th century, parts of this historic building date back to the 16th century. The 24 newly built homes, set in three buildings – Barley House, Mackay House and The Malthouse include a collection of two, three and four-bedroom apartments and duplexes along with a three-bedroom house. Each unique new home provides plenty of generously-proportioned living space and all have outside space in the form of private gardens, terraces, balconies, Juliette balconies or roof terraces. All the stylish, energy-efficient homes at White Lion Place have been designed to reflect the grandeur of the listed building and historical relevance of the site and each features the contemporary, high quality specification that is a hallmark of all Beechcroft properties. 1 Discover a new beginning Beechcroft, one of the country’s leading retirement developers, has an excellent reputation for creating elegant houses and luxurious apartments for home buyers over the age of 55.

Styvinton and the Chertsey Revitalization Scheme Phil Jones and Jane Robertson Introduction The Chertsey Revitalization Scheme, a partnership between Runnymede Borough Council and the private sector, aims to redevelop a large area south of the town centre, including the west side of Guildford Street between the Bourne stream and the railway station, and its east side between Eastworth Road and Station Road. By chance, this part of Chertsey has recently been identified as being of archaeological interest in a survey of the heathlands of north-west Surrey, commissioned by RCHME, and undertaken by the Surrey County Archaeological Unit (Jones 1994). This suggested that the medieval suburb of Styvinton might have lain south of Steven's Bridge over the Bourne, and that from its configuration on early maps, this could have been a deliberately planned settlement. For this reason, and on account of the size of the area involved, the Archaeology and Historic Landscapes team of Surrey County Council's Planning Department recommended to the Borough that they commission professional works to determine whether or not archaeological deposits were present, and if so, to evaluate their extent and importance prior to redevelopment. SCAU was contracted by Countryside Commercial to undertake the first fieldwork of the project within Phase 6 of the Revitalization Scheme.

  • Submission by the Elmbridge Liberal Democrats
    Elmbridge Electoral Review – Submission by the Elmbridge Liberal Democrats Introduction On 3 February 2015 the Local Government Boundary Commission for England announced that it is minded to recommend that 48 councillors should be elected to the council of Elmbridge Borough in future and it now invites proposals from interested parties on a pattern of electoral wards to accommodate those councillors. Elmbridge Liberal Democrat Local Party represents the party members living within the borough and wishes to make a proposal for the consideration of the commission. History On 10 April 2013 the full council of the Borough of Elmbridge decided by a vote of 26 to 23 to support the recommendation that the borough determine whether to confirm its request for an electoral review to be undertaken by the local government boundary commission for England in order to consider reducing the number of members of the council. The Liberal Democrat Group in the council voted against the recommendation given that, inter idea, the ensuing review could force the borough to accept warding arrangements that do not suit the settled communities. This is because of the commission’s view that an electoral system based on election by thirds could only use three member wards – one council member must be elected from each ward each year. The Liberal Democrat Group felt that such a rule was unnecessary and would rather wait until England reformed its voting system to introduce the single transferrable vote using multi- member wards on a rolling election basis before making any changes of this nature. The Liberal Democrats had noted that Ireland, Scotland and Wales have already moved along this route with the concomitant increase in voter turnout and quality of councillor.

Three hours 55 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9 hours. Short Circular Walk, from Cobham: 9¼ km† (5.7 miles). Two hours walking time. † Add 5 km (3 miles) if visiting Painshill Park and doing the full suggested route through the landscape garden. See Features below. OS Maps Explorers 146 & 161, with a tiny part on 145. Oxshott, map reference TQ141609, is in Surrey, 6 km W of Epsom. Toughness 3 out of 10 (less for the shorter options). Features The main purpose of this walk is the opportunity to visit the GradeⅠ listed Painshill Park. “England's most elegant 18thC landscape garden” was created by Charles Hamilton between 1738 and 1773, inspired by Renaissance art and his visits to Italy on the Grand Tour. The garden was at the forefront of the ‘picturesque’ movement, combining naturalistic landscaping enriched by follies, water features, a vineyard, shrubberies and exotic trees from North America. By the mid-20thC, however, all the follies were dilapidated and the garden had become an impenetrable jungle. Fortunately it was acquired by Elmbridge Borough Council in 1980 and since then the Painshill Park Trust has succeeded both in restoring it and replanting the grounds with species introduced by Hamilton. Painshill has been open to the public since 1997, with admission being £9 (2020).
