  • Thames Ditton and Giggs Hill Conservation Area Character
    This document has been written and illustrated on behalf of Elmbridge Borough Council by Forum Heritage Services Telephone: 01258 450542 email: [email protected] Thames Ditton and Giggs Hill Green Thames Ditton and Giggs Hill Conservation Area Character Appraisal & Management Proposals This document has been commissioned by the Town Planning Division, Elmbridge Borough Council, as part of its rolling programme of undertaking conservation area appraisals and preparing management proposals. The document has been produced through collaborative working by the Thames Ditton and Giggs Hill Green Conservation Area Working Group. The group included residents, members of the local Conservation Area Advisory Committee, representatives from a variety of historical, amenity and conservation societies, local Councillors, and officers from Elmbridge Borough Council. Forum Heritage Services and context4D were appointed as heritage consultants to facilitate the project, organize training workshops and co-ordinate and produce the Appraisal and Management Proposals. The designation, review, protection and management of conservation areas are part of the statutory duties of Elmbridge Borough Council as the local planning authority. However, community involvement is essential in understanding the special nature and different issues for each individual conservation area. The Working Group identified many aspects and issues and these were incorporated into the document at its initial draft stages. This document has been the subject of wider public consultation for a six-week period commencing on 30 January 2009 and comments received have informed the final document. This guidance document will be a material consideration with regards to the implementation of saved policies in the Replacement Elmbridge Borough Council Local Plan 2000 (REBLP 2000), and used in the preparation of the Local Development Framework (LDF), as a basis for understanding the area, informing decision making, monitoring and management.

Hinds, Alex From: Mayers, Mishka on behalf of reviews Sent: 11 August 2015 16:58 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: To the Elmbridge review officer From: Sarah Kaikini Sent: 07 August 2015 19:47 To: reviews <[email protected]> Cc: Subject: To the Elmbridge review officer Dear Sir or Madam I am writing to object to the proposal to alter the ward boundaries for Thames Ditton. As a resident in the area which the Boundary Commission wishes to join to the ward of Long Ditton, I am dismayed to find that the ancient historic ties to Thames Ditton will be severed and any changes will have a negative effect on local identities. It is not in the interests of the local community to make these changes. People living in the affected area will feel alienated and will feel that they have an inferior standing in the community if their postal addresses and wards conflict. Residents may also be confused about which councillors to contact on issues. Furthermore, I have established relationships with the current local councillors and have communicated with them many times. In contrast, I do not even know the names of the Long Ditton councillors and do not want to have to go through the whole process of explaining ongoing issues again to a new set of people. It is also a great concern to me that these proposals have been issued when many residents will be on holiday.

In every case they are more than just a sum of their parts and contribute at many levels to the social, environmental and economic life of the Borough. However, they are irreplaceable resources which are vulnerable to gradual change from lack of maintenance as well as from more dramatic changes including development pressures that can cause them to reduce or lose their significance and place in our consciousness. As a Regulatory Planning Authority and landowner the Council has a duty to care for its historic environment and the assets it contains. I am pleased to recommend this new Heritage Strategy which identifies some of the issues and makes recommendations for the immediate and longer term. It is aimed at everyone who is concerned with the historic environment whether as residents, owners, organisations, applicants, developers, advisors, councillors and officers and s hows that heritage considerations are as much about the present and the future as they are about the past!
