The homes we live in, the places we work, the open spaces where we relax and the roads we travel on are all a result of planning decisions that have been made. Crawley Borough Council is revising the Local Plan in order to help to guide development in Crawley over the 15 years from 2020 – 2035. To meet the needs of its growing population and its key economic role at the heart of the Gatwick Diamond, by 2035 Crawley would need to provide over 11,200 more homes, generating up to 20,541 new jobs. In the past, Crawley’s growth has mainly been through the creation of entire new neighbourhoods, and commercial development at Manor Royal. However, Forge Wood is the last full neighbourhood which can be built within the borough boundary as there is simply no space left. All the large sites have been built out on Manor Royal, some already having been redeveloped. We are, therefore, facing the challenge of incorporating additional and higher density development within our existing neighbourhoods, in Manor Royal, and within the town centre. This Local Plan aims to manage this change to ensure we do as much as we can to meet the housing and employment needs of our growing population whilst retaining the important character and features of the town which our residents, businesses and visitors value. The Plan’s policies seek to secure high quality of design, with new development providing decent and affordable new homes and attractive workspaces whilst protecting the amenity and wellbeing of existing residents. It also aims to ensure new development is sustainable in location and construction, and promotes public transport, cycling and walking. Even with further development within the borough, Crawley will not be able to meet its housing needs in full, and possibly not all of its employment needs, because of its small size and constraints including flooding and aircraft noise. Therefore, we are reliant on effective cooperation with our neighbouring authorities to help address Crawley’s unmet needs. New development may come forward just outside Crawley’s boundaries, and this Plan seeks to ensure these developments will meet the needs of Crawley’s residents, including for affordable housing, will follow Crawley’s sustainable neighbourhood principle, and will provide the infrastructure they need to ensure they don’t become a burden on the town. This document is the draft new Local Plan which the council considers to be legally compliant and ‘sound’, and is available for full final public consultation ahead of its submission to central government for its independent examination. I encourage you to respond. Councillor Peter Smith Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development Crawley Borough Council CRAWLEY 2035: CRAWLEY BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN 2020 – 2035 SUBMISSION CONSULTATION DRAFT 7 CRAWLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL JANUARY 2020 CRAWLEY 2035: CRAWLEY BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN 2020 – 2035 SUBMISSION CONSULTATION DRAFT 8 CRAWLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL JANUARY 2020 Crawley’s Local Plan 1.1 The draft Crawley Local Plan Review seeks to revise the current adopted Crawley 2030 Local Plan in order to update it in accordance with national policies and local changes. This will ensure Crawley maintains an up-to-date Local Plan to support and direct the growth of the borough. The Local Plan is an important document which sets the way forward for planning the future of Crawley – where we live, work and visit – for the next 15 years. The Crawley Borough Local Plan Review has involved engagement with residents, businesses and other stakeholders throughout its production. The Local Plan provides a clear indication of the council’s approach to the development of the town, including helping to support the delivery of key priorities: wellbeing and communities, economic growth and social mobility, housing delivery and environmental sustainability. 1.2 This document forms the Submission draft Crawley Borough Local Plan and is published for public consultation. It contains the emerging draft strategic and non- strategic planning policies and principles to help shape the future of the town. Some of the Policies are proposed to be retained from the existing Local Plan, others have been changed, and some new policies are being proposed. All elements of the draft Local Plan are publicised for scrutiny and comment. 1.3 Once adopted, this Local Plan will replace the Crawley Borough Local Plan (2015 – 2030) to provide the basis for future planning decisions in the borough.

  • Coal Post Walk on Banstead Heath
    Coal post walk on Banstead Heath Map: Explorer 146 Dorking, Box Hill & Reigate. Total length: about 13.5 km (8½ miles). Start: Tattenham Corner station (shorter option: start from Tadworth station); finish: Kingswood station. There is a particular concentration of posts in the area of Banstead and Walton heaths, there being nowhere else where so many posts can be seen in such a short distance. This walk passes 26 – more than an eighth of the surviving total – though all are Type 2 posts (no railway or canal marks are passed). The countryside is very attractive too: this walk is entirely on the North Downs, starting on the chalk of Epsom and Walton Downs, then crossing Banstead and Walton Heaths where the chalk is overlain by clay with flints, and reaching the scarp slope of the downs at Colley Hill. The walk follows the boundary of the former parish of Banstead along a salient projecting south from the main area of the parish, between the former parishes of Walton on the Hill to the west and Kingswood (once a detached part of the parish of Ewell) to the east. Parishes in the former Banstead Urban District were abolished by the Local Government Act 1972, so although the walk follows ancient boundaries these are not marked on current Ordnance Survey maps. The walk starts from Tattenham Corner station, which is the final station on a branch line from Purley. Trains run from London Bridge or Victoria depending on the time of the day. Although the branch is largely outside Greater London it is included in Transport for London Zone 6 and so travelcards valid for Zone 6, Freedom Passes, etc are valid to all the stations mentioned in this description.

  • Electoral Review of Crawley Borough Council
    Electoral Review of Crawley Borough Council Pattern of Wards April 2018 INTRODUCTION The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) are conducting a review of the electoral arrangements of Crawley Borough Council during 2018. The Commission monitors levels of electoral equality between Wards within each local authority and conducts reviews where changes in population lead to a reduction in the levels of electoral equality. The aim of a review is to establish Ward boundaries that mean each Borough Councillor represents approximately the same number of voters. The electoral arrangements for Crawley were last reviewed in 2002. Development in the Borough since that time, particularly in the Three Bridges Ward has led to electoral inequality between Wards and the review by the LGBCE will address this inequality. The review covers • The number of Councillors to be elected to the Council (Council size) • The number, names and boundaries of Wards • The number of Councillors to be elected for each Ward The Commission has announced that it is minded that Crawley Borough Council should have 36 Borough Councillors and has invited proposals on a pattern of electoral Wards to accommodate those Councillors. This document sets out Crawley Borough Council’s response. The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 sets out the criteria that the LGBCE must have regard to in conducting electoral reviews. The Council has developed a proposed pattern of Wards which offer the best balance of these statutory requirements which are: • The need to secure equality of representation • The need to reflect the identities and interests of local communities • The need to secure effective and convenient local government BACKGROUND TO CRAWLEY Crawley is a vibrant town which sits in the heart of the Gatwick Diamond sub region.

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.
