metres (a 5 minute walk) from home. Figure 20 below shows the parts of the Borough within 300m of accessible natural green space. The Council’s Open Space Study (2010) states that there are 1177.59 hectares of natural and semi-natural green spaces in the Borough (1064.57ha of this is accessible-i.e. with people not having to pay a fee to enter, and freely accessible to members of the public). 10.46 The Open Space Study concludes that overall approximately 12.70ha of accessible natural and semi-natural green spaces per 1000 population is provided in the Borough. This is a significantly greater amount than suggested as the minimum by ANGSt. 10.47 Hence one of the conclusions of the Open Space Study is that the Borough as a whole has large provision of accessible Natural and Semi-Natural Urban Green Spaces. It should be noted however that the broad location areas of Virginia Water and Egham, were found to have a greater accessible provision than the broad location areas of Addlestone and Chertsey. The quality of these spaces has been recognised as being mostly medium or low (assessment criteria were accessibility (e.g. disabled access, locality to public transport and signage); Cleanliness; Facilities; Safety; and Overall Quality). It was concluded that it is important to improve the quality of these green spaces, as this types of green spaces were identified as popular destinations in the study questionnaires given to residents. Local Plan 10.48 The Local Plan confirms in Location Policy 2 (LP02) that the Local Plan will aim to deliver on average 161 units per annum between the years of 2011 and 2026, including 1500 units at the former DERA site. A number of these new dwellings will be within 5km of the TBHSPA. 10.49 Local Plan Core Strategy policy SP07 is concerned with the Thames Basin Heath Special Protection Area. The policy replicates advice approved by Natural England and currently being followed by the Council that permits the approval of new residential development between 400m and 5km of the Thames Basin Heath SPA. Development at the former DERA site is however singled out by the policy as ‘exceptional’, in that it requires a bespoke solution. The Local Plan Core Strategy's SA/SEA could also form the basis for trigger of other national legislation such as Environmental Impact Assessment. 10.50 The Local Plan Core Strategy also recognises the importance of a green infrastructure network generally, including natural and semi-natural green spaces. Future Provision 10.51 As part of the development of the former DERA site, a network of formal and informal green infrastructure will be provided. Some of the green infrastructure provided will fall within the category of semi natural green space. 10.52 In addition, works are proposed at the Cabrera Trust land in Virginia Water if the funding becomes available. The planned works are as follows: • further coppicing work along the riverside walk • new footbridge on riverside walk • update interpretation/information boards along riverside walk • review and update of the nature trail posts and leaflets along the riverside Walk • re-routing of boardwalk away from eroding bank alongside riverside walk 10.53 Works are also proposed at Chertsey Meads and St Ann’s Hill although these works have been discussed elsewhere in this chapter.

Costs and funding sources 10.54 The provision of any semi-natural greenspace at the former DERA site would be funded by the developer. 10.55 Proposed works on the Cabrera Trust land would cost in the region of £42,500. It is possible that some of the funding may be provided through the Cabrera Trust. 10.56 The costs and sources of funding for the works proposed to the SANGS in the Borough have already been detailed elsewhere in this chapter.

This would have a knock on effect for the general public, the character of the Borough and for biodiversity. A number of the spaces within the Borough which form part of the network of natural and semi-natural green spaces are however protected by European or national laws; given regional or local level protection; or are protected through various other mechanisms (in relation to SANGS, for example). As such, the risk of total loss occurring is low. It is possible however, that some of the spaces could decrease in quality if not managed properly (in particular the semi-natural green spaces). Conclusion Risk ID Description Probability Severity IDPR031 Loss or reduction in quality Low High 10.58 Overall, it is considered that there are sufficient natural and semi natural green spaces within the Borough to accommodate the forecasted level of development over the plan period (providing that DERA provides this type of green space as part of its green infrastructure package). As noted in the Open Spaces Survey (2010) however, there is potential to improve some of the existing natural and semi natural green spaces within the Borough over the Plan period. Amenity Open Space Existing conditions 10.59 These types of spaces are most commonly (but not exclusively) located in housing areas and include informal recreation spaces, green spaces in and around housing and village greens. The Open Space Survey 2010 states that there are some 63.49ha of accessible amenity green space within the Borough (it is considered that the terms Page | 112 Runnymede IDP DRAFT – February 2013
