PROTECT GREEN PUBLIC OPEN SPACES, HORLEY, SURREY
Say 'NO' to planning application 17/00320/F on Land Parcel, Horley, Surrey
Why is this important?
These 2 pieces of green situated between Landen Park and Arne Grove in Horley, Surrey, were designated as 'PUBLIC OPEN SPACES' when the housing estate was designed and built in the early 1970s. These green spaces are used and enjoyed every day by residents of all ages for activities such as walking, dog walking, cycling and playing. They have also been used for community celebrations such as for the Queen's Jubilees.
The green areas provide a vital habitat for local wildlife including birds and bats. The space creates a visual break for residents, and these areas have been an important factor in many residents' decision to move into the estate over the last 40 plus years.
This land is now being threatened with development. As residents we are already being impacted by the huge development to the north-west of us at the Westvale Park site. Building on these areas would bring even more traffic to two already crowded cul-de-sacs, creating risks for local children who play and walk these streets.
For the health, well-being and sustainability of community and family life, and for the protection of local wildlife, we must protect these precious green spaces.
