SITE DESCRIPTION The application site extends to around 0.57 hectares in area and comprises an existing 4 storey purpose built office building constructed in 1989. The existing building is faced with red brick with horizontal boarding under a plain tiled roof. The southern boundary of the site is formed by the Basingstoke Canal with the eastern and northern boundary of the site being formed by Horsell Common. The north-western part of the application site includes part of Horsell Common and the informal car park which can accommodate around 19 vehicles. This part of the site also includes part of the bell barrow (Tumulus) which is designated as a scheduled ancient monument. Vehicular access into the site is from Monument Road which leads to the informal car park in the north-western part of the site and to the reminder of the site which has hard surfacing to three sides of the building providing car parking and also a vehicular access to a basement on the southern side of the building which provides further car parking. The building forms an isolated site with no neighbouring premises/properties immediately adjoining the application site. PLANNING HISTORY There is a long planning history for this site mostly relating to the site before the existing office building was constructed. The most recent planning history for the site is as follows: PLAN/2017/1185 - Change of use of land currently forming in forward car park (land coloured green) to publicly accessible open space, change of use of land (coloured blue) from publicly accessible recreational open space to car park and construction of car park for exclusive use of the owners/occupiers of the property known as Britannia Wharf, change of use of land (coloured green and cross hatched black) from publicly accessible recreational open space to vehicle lay-by and construction of lay-by and removal/expunging of the existing S106 legal agreement dated 29th July 2017 to facilitate the proposed development. Under consideration. PLAN/2016/0724 - Prior notification for a proposed change of use - conversion of 4/5 storey office building (B1 use) to create 51 residential units (C3 use). Withdrawn PLAN/2016/0358 - Prior notification for a proposed change of use - conversion of 4/5 storey office building (B1 use) to create 51 residential units (C3 use).

Granted 13.06.91 PLAN/1989/1073 - Amendment to application 88/0638 proposing use of redundant plant room to directors dining/board room and use of part of basement as lecture room/projection room and revisions to parking layout. Granted 06.04.90 PLAN/1988/0638 - Approval of Reserved Matters pursuant to application 87/1213 in respect of demolition of existing building, erection of B1 Use Class building and car parking, construction of new vehicle access. Granted 15.09.88 PLAN/1987/1213 - Demolition of existing industrial buildings and erection of a three storey building providing 25,188sq.ft. of Class B1 (Business) floor space (revised proposal). Granted 25.04.88 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT This application seeks full planning permission for the partial demolition, rebuild and extension of existing B1 office building to create a 4/5 storey building for Class C3 use including 52 (47no. 2 bed and 5no. 1 bed) apartments, associated works. Existing access roads/car parking to be retained. The breakdown of the proposed apartments is as follows: • 5no. 1 bedroom apartments; and • 47no. 2 bedroom apartments The proposed building would be 4/5 storey above ground level with a basement. There would be 3 storeys of accommodation above a basement and the fourth storey would be within the roof space over the whole building and the fifth storey would be in a further roof space over part of the building. A pitched roof is proposed with a flat crown and the roof space accommodation would be lit by dormer windows and gable features. The proposed building would have an almost identical footprint to the existing building and would have a maximum width of 55.8 metres and a maximum depth of 24 metres. The majority of the proposed building would have an eaves height of 7.7 metres on the northern elevation with an eaves height of 9 metres on the canal side elevation (as the building is raised up on this side). The main ridge height of the building would vary from 11.8 metres on the northern side of the building to 13.1 metres on the canal side. The height of the roof of the fifth floor accommodation over part of the building would measure 14.4 metres on the northern side and 15.4 metres on the canal side of the building. The proposed building would be faced in red brick with render and horizontal cladding under a natural slate roof. The existing vehicular access would be retained to access the site as would the informal car park in the north-western corner of the site. The existing parking area to the western and eastern sides of the building would be retained, although modified slightly to provide some additional landscaping. The access to the basement car park would also be retained. 42no. parking spaces would be provided around the building, 27no. parking spaces would be provided in the basement and a further 19no. parking spaces would be retained in the informal car park in the north-western corner of the site. A cycle store would be provided in the basement for 55no. cycles and a bin store would be provided to the northern part of the site. 3 27 FEBRUARY 2018 PLANNING COMMITTEE In support of the application a Design Statement, Access Statement, Heritage Statement, Transport Statement, Extended Ecology Survey Report, Travel Plan, SuDS Statement, SuDS Checklist, Planning Policy Statement, Environmental Statement, sun path diagrams and Contamination Assessment Report have been submitted. The CIL Additional Information form has also been submitted with the application. Viability Information has also been submitted with the application. CONSULTATIONS County Highway Authority – Having assessed the application in terms of the likely net additional traffic generation, access arrangements and parking provision, satisfied that the application would not have a material impact on the safety and operation of the adjoining public highway. Historic England (first response) – The development site lies in close proximity to several designated heritage assets, including a group of scheduled Bronze Age barrows, one of which overlaps with the development boundary. The proposed new building is unlikely to cause harm to the designated heritage assets through development within their setting that is greater than any harm caused by the existing building. There is however, the potential for the development proposals to cause harm to the eastern barrow through construction, demolition, ground works, additions and continued parking or vehicle movements on the monument. Service trenches should be diverted outside the boundary of the scheduled area and the proposed refuse storage should also be re-located away from the barrow and the plans should be amended in this regard as these aspects have the potential to cause harm to the adjacent scheduled barrow. A Construction Management Plan would also be needed to control construction activities to ensure no inadvertent damage is caused.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Long woodland trails, wetlands with boardwalks, lake, heath, grassy plains In Brief This is a fascinating walk of great variety, featuring long woodland trails, many of them unsigned, punctuated by some considerable surprises. The most notable of these is the Wetlands Centre where a boardwalk and good sandy paths keep you dry-shod, and where food and drink is available at the Heather Farm Café . There are no nettles and no troublesome undergrowth on this walk. Some of the paths on the north side are muddy in a wet winter but the lack of fencing means you can usually skip to either side. Provided you have good boots, you will enjoy this walk even (or especially) in winter. With very little road walking (and no stiles!), your dog will be very welcome on this walk. The walk begins at the Fishpool car park on Chobham Common, Surrey. The car park is just off The Gracious Pond Road.

  • ON HORSELL COMMON Iain Wakeford 2016
    In a series of guided Heritage Walks around Woking, and in these articles, we investigates the stories behind H G Wells’ CHAPTER THREE - famous science-fiction novel ‘The War of the Worlds’ ON HORSELL COMMON Iain Wakeford 2016 Having read of the Martian cylinder in his ‘Daily Chronicle’, the Narrator heads to Horsell Common where he finds the turf and gravel ‘charred as if by a sudden explosion’. There was a group of bystanders including ‘a couple of cyclists, a jobbing gardener I employed sometimes, a girl carrying a baby, Gregg the butcher and his little boy, and two or three loafers and golf caddies who were accustomed to hang around the railway station’. Wells and his wife learned to ride a bicycle whilst in Woking, and it appears that he was quite keen on gardening, mentioning his little greenhouse with an illustration of the first marrow that he grew there, in his autobiography written in 1934 (below). Who the girl carrying the baby or Gregg the butcher and his little boy were we do not know (there were many more butchers in Woking in 1895 than there are today), but I cannot help wonder whether these and the ‘loafers and golf caddies’ had upset Wells one day as he was wondering around Woking, and had therefore found their way into his ‘little black book’ to be later destroyed by his Martians! The same could probably be said of those who were at the sandpits in the afternoon of that www.wokinghistory.org There were numerous butcher’s shops in Woking in Wells’ day, most no doubt displaying their meat similar to that shown here at Robert Wasley’s shop in Chertsey Road, Woking.

  • The Common Spring 2020
    The Common The newsletter from the Horsell Common Preservation Society Volume 17 Spring 2020 ic reqd May in McLaren Park We have all seen a lot of changes during these strange and challenging times, normal patterns have altered, and new behaviours adopted, to follow national and local guidance to manage this virus. These changes have naturally affected Horsell Common Preservation Society, our commons and staff. HCPS working closely with other managers of local open spaces and local authorities, closed the car parks in March. Since May 13th the car parks have been re-opened. Please take great care to respect the social distancing rules. With Heather Farm tenants shut down and therefore our income impacted we have unfortunately furloughed Senior Ranger Rachel. We have also taken a decision to postpone our AGM from June to September. We will update you when guidance is clear. We have recently marked significant anniversaries within the Society, our trustees and staff. Read more along with other updates in this issue. We look forward to businesses restarting at Heather Farm and general access returning when conditions allow. Stay well and keep safe! Robin Hoyle – Chairman of HCPS 1 From the Editor What a gift Horsell Common has been for so many of us during the lockdown period and during the glorious Spring weather! The AGM for HCPS was due to happen on June 8th. The Spring newsletter would normally have contained the official notification for the AGM and related material. The AGM will be rescheduled for August or September and all official material and further information will be sent electronically 28 days in advance.

In the summer of 2013, the Byfleet, West Byfleet, and Pyrford Residents Association (BWBPRA) was keen to see our three villages establishing neighbourhood plans under the Localism Act 2011 legislation. To this end, the BWBPRA initially allocated £1,000 to each village to cover start-up expenses. This enabled us to propose the formation of the Pyrford Neighbourhood Forum at a public meeting in September 2013.
