Including these in the main body of the report would make that document cumbersome, so instead they are included in the Appendices. Page 1 1 APPENDIX 1 BRAMLEY’S ROADS 1.1 Given a primary purpose of this Plan is to define sites and criteria for future housing development, describing where existing housing occurs and the most significant planning issues that occur during local planning discussions is useful to help describe the Parish and provide context and evidence for the policies. 1.2 Note that this data which is drawn from the Electoral Register1 does not exactly match the census in number of houses because of people not voting or registering.

    Draft Surrey Local Flood Risk Management Strategy 2012 - 2016 www.surreycc.gov.uk Making Surrey a better place Why is a strategy needed? Tell us what you think about The Government has recently given local flooding authorities new powers to help manage local flood risk in a more coordinated way. These new Earlier this year, Surrey County Council used responsibilities relate primarily to ‘local’ flood feedback from residents to inform its strategy risk, namely from surface water, groundwater about flood risk. It now wants to know what you and ordinary watercourses (smaller rivers, think of it. streams and ditches). Flood risk from all other To give your views, visit www.surreycc.gov.uk/ rivers (known as main rivers) remains the floodriskstrategy or call 03456 009 009. responsibility of the Environment Agency. The closing date for all responses is 30 November Surrey County Council now has a statutory duty 2012. to produce a strategy. The Surrey Local Flood Risk Management Strategy: • Explains how partners are working together to reduce flood risk. • Provides an overview of the ongoing flood risk management work underway across Surrey. • Outlines which organisations are responsible for different types of flooding to ensure a common understanding of roles, responsibilities and priorities within the county. Extreme weather, existing buildings in floodplains and limited funding mean we cannot stop flood incidents in Surrey. However, through the strategy we will coordinate our services so that flood risk is reduced and the aftermath of flood incidents is minimised. The strategy provides a real opportunity for us to work together with residents and businesses to reduce risk and prepare for the future.

    2. the SPATIAL PORTRAIT 2.1 Waverley Borough, Which

    2. THE SPATIAL PORTRAIT 2.1 Waverley Borough, which has a population of 121,2721, is located in the southwest corner of Surrey. It is predominantly rural and extends to some 345 sq. km. (133 sq. miles). 2.2 The Borough contains four principal urban settlements of varying size. Each has a different character and distinctiveness, a defined town centre area and one or more conservation areas as well as a large number of listed buildings. About 69% of the population lives within one of the four main centres. The Borough is a desirable place in which to live, and this is demonstrated by the fact that house prices in Waverley are amongst the highest in the South-East. It was ranked as the 6th best place to live in the Halifax 2015 Quality of Life Survey, which is based on various factors, including residents' health and life expectancy, employment, low crime rates, environment, housing market and education. In a 2006 survey of residents, 83% were either satisfied or very satisfied with life in the Borough, placing Waverley in the top 25% of councils in England for this measure. 2.3 Waverley also has a large number of villages of varying size and character, and altogether there are 21 separate town or/ parish councils in the Borough. Each of the four main settlements has its own distinctive character and strong local identity. Most of the villages have historic cores, conservation areas and many outstanding listed buildings, as well as being surrounded by accessible countryside of a high quality. The number of shops and the extent of local services, such as a post office or health facilities vary according to the size of settlement.

Despite being in such close proximiyt to greater London, much of the Wey catchment (especially its upper reaches) is dominated by a rural landscape of pasture, woodland and wetland. The lower reaches of the catchment are more urban and include the major towns of Guildford, Weybridge and Woking. The river has two sources, the northern Wey arising from a spring in a chalk valley near Alton and the Southern Wey origianting near Liphook. The two meet at Tilford where the river then flows through a shallow valley to Godalming, then to Guildford and north over the wide floodplain of the Thames Basin Heaths to its confluence with the Thames at Weybridge. The main River Wey is fed by a number of tributaries including Cranleigh Waters, The Tillingbourne and Hoe Stream. This catchment is home to other features such as Frensham Ponds, Virginia Waters and lakes at Thorpe Park, as well a total of seven SSSI’s which lie wholly or partly within the corridor of the River Wey. The River Wey Navigation, Basingstoke Canal and the largely disused Wey and Arun Canal are also within this catchment.

The River Wey catchment This consultation document summarises the work carried out to investigate and manage strategic flood risk in the River Wey catchment. Our preferred option is to maintain the river system and structures to meet existing flood risk standards. These standards will decrease with time due to climate change. Flood risk is the combination of probability (likelihood) and consequence (impact). We will reduce the impacts of flooding by: enhancing our flood warning and forecasting ability, influencing development planning and promoting flood proofing measures in homes.

  • CRANLEIGH PARISH COUNCIL Draft Responses to the Pre-Submission

    ! CRANLEIGH PARISH COUNCIL Draft Responses to the Pre-Submission Waverley Local Plan Part 1: Strategic Policies and Sites Cranleigh Parish Council is delighted to see progress on the Waverley Local Plan as it is considered that planning of the Borough and Cranleigh in particular should be genuinely plan-led so that it will be possible to move away from the current appeal-led system. Having reviewed the Pre-Submission Waverley Local Plan Part 1: Strategic Policies and Sites and accompanying evidence, the following commentary sets out the support for, and objections to, relevant policies and paragraphs in the order that they are presented in the Local Plan. The Parish Council arranged an open evening on 15 September 2016 in Cranleigh for residents to learn more about, and comment on, the Waverley Local Plan Part 1 pre-submission. Whilst residents are able to make their comments independently on the Local Plan, the Parish Council’s comments are informed by the comments made at the open evening (Appendix 3). Object to Para 3.2 Vision for Waverley in 2032; Local Plan Objective 2; Paragraph 5.15 and Policy SP2: Spatial Strategy Policy SP2: Spatial Strategy is fundamental to the distribution of development within the borough but is not considered sound as it is not justified. The policy is not justified as it is not based on up-to-date evidence and does not represent the most appropriate strategy in terms of the focus of development at Cranleigh. The Local Plan (Para 5.16) states that the approach to development within the villages is derived from a combination of factors, namely: • the Waverley Settlement Hierarchy; • the landscape and other constraints that apply; and • the potential availability of sites.
