Redhill Aerodrome Ventures Ltd Examination Into the Soundness of the Tandridge District Council Local Plan
Redhill Aerodrome Ventures Ltd Examination into the soundness of the Tandridge District Council Local Plan Tandridge District Council Local Plan Examination Statement Redhill Aerodrome Ventures Ltd 3rd September 2019 Contents 1. Summary 2. Introduction 3. Main Matters Page 1 Redhill Aerodrome Ventures Ltd Examination into the soundness of the Tandridge District Council Local Plan 1. Summary 1.1. RAVL considers that Redhill Aerodrome offers a significant opportunity to support the provision of housing to help meet Tandridge’s substantial housing need. The submitted local plan proposes a level of housing below the recognised housing need, and does not allocate Redhill Aerodrome for housing use. RAVL considers that in the absence of such an allocation, then Tandridge should properly, positively and effectively plan for employment use on the site, which will necessitate its removal from the Green Belt. RAVL’s Reg 19 representation proposed that the airfield in its entirety should be removed, however in the absence of this, the employment policy area, together with appropriate expansion land within defensible boundaries, should be removed. This would be consistent with the Government’s approach to the Green Belt purposes in the NPPF, as part of the site is previously developed land contributing little to the Green Belt. 2. Introduction 2.1. This statement is submitted by Redhill Aerodrome Ventures Ltd, the parent company of Redhill Aerodrome Ltd and Redhill Aerodrome Trading Ltd which between them hold the entire freehold interest of land at Redhill Aerodrome (all “Redhill Aerodrome”) 2.2. Redhill Aerodrome has been in the current ownership for some 27 years. -
Places & Planning
Places & Planning Piers Mason Chief Planning Officer Tandridge District Council 8 Station Road East Oxted Surrey RH8 0BT By email: [email protected] Date: 05 October 2017 Dear Mr Mason RE: Tandridge Local Plan Garden Villages Consultation (Regulation 18) Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your Local Plan Garden Villages Consultation (Regulation 18). We acknowledge that the Council’s agreed Preferred Strategy (16 March 2017), under which your Local Plan will continue to be prepared, includes the identification and allocation of a garden village as the most sustainable option for future development. This reflects the limited capacity within existing settlements, and limited opportunities for extensions to existing settlements (which would in many cases be less sustainable than a new village with its provision of planned strategic infrastructure). This approach reflects the fact that 94% of Tandridge district is designated as Green Belt, and will no doubt form part of your case for exceptional circumstances justifying changes to the Green Belt boundaries. We note that the current Regulation 18 garden villages consultation presents further evidence and information regarding four potential locations for a new garden village, but that as yet, no decision on a preferred location has been made. Methodology We broadly agree with the approach of a garden village employed by Tandridge, which will be needed to meet its housing requirement above the capacity of the existing settlements and their limited expansions. We recognise that the selected approach to a new garden village is based on the Town and Country Planning Association’s Garden Cities guidance. We support the methodology that you have used to date to assess potential sites for a new garden village. -

Reigate College
REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Reigate College May 1996 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected.

During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.
