Autumn 2017 Newsletter AUTUMN 2017 NEWSLETTER Registered Charity No: 287803 1 | Page PLANNING UPDATE by Hannah Lane LOCAL PLAN The last Consultation was the one in May-June this year on extra/or alterations to the sites proposed to be removed from the Green Belt (GB). This included a reduction in the possible number of houses to be built on `Lower Ottershaw`. This time over 1,000 responses were received throughout the Borough, compared with over 700 in August 2016. The Travellers Accommodation Assessment has now commenced. It is anticipated that a draft report will be issued to the Council in November with the study being finalised before the end of the year. RBC has not yet published the date for the final Public Consultation that will be at the same time as the Plan will be submitted to the Inspectorate for the Examination in Public (EiP). Only after this will the Inspector rule on the Plan and it will be finalised and implemented. The most interesting development for Ottershaw is that RBC has had a Consultation with a specialist barrister on Local Plans to advise on the RBC Local Plan and its viability going forward. His main comment was:- FINALISING THE COUNCIL’S TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE EVIDENCE WITH A PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON DRIVING FORWARD THE A320 STUDY WHICH MR LEADER DESCRIBED AS THE ‘SPINE OF THE LOCAL PLAN’. A rare peaceful scene of Guildford Road Looking up Church Hill, Guildford Road In other words much of RBC`s future development is on or in the area of the A320 (i.e. will filter onto the A320) and the A320 cannot take it in its present structure. RBC, Woking, Surrey Heath and Surrey County Councils have formed a Working Group to look at this problem of the A320. Surrey Heath is taking the lead and has appointed a Consultant, who will report back by the end of the year. If the Consultant comes up with a plan, the 2nd criteria is where is the money to come from? If either, or both, questions are not answered, it leaves RBC with a problem on its proposed housing sites. But if the Consultant does come up with an answer, and the money is found, what is the effect on Ottershaw and the Otter Roundabout likely to be? A forward funding bid by SCC for the A320 project was submitted by the deadline of 28 September to HCA Housing Infrastructure Fund. There are no details at the moment from RBC. www.facebook.com/ottershawsociety www.ottershawsociety.org 2 | Page NEW GOVERNMENT CONSULTATION TO INCREASE HOUSING NUMBERS. In September Sajid Javid, Communities Secretary, announced a Consultation of setting increased housing numbers for Local Plans. More housing is needed than in the present Local Plans, especially low cost. Housing numbers will in future be based on a complicated fixed formula across all Councils, that is the price of houses weighted against the average wages/salaries of each Council area. This will result in increases in the present Local Plan housing numbers mainly in the south-east. Local Plans will be done every 5 years, not 20-25 as now. We do not yet know what RBC will be doing to implement these new rules. Whatever happens to the present RBC Plan, housing numbers in RBC will be going up over the revised upward figures given in the last Consultation in May 2017.
