13.37 Chertsey Ambulance Station has been classified as grade D, being ‘at serious risk of<br />

breakdown’ 42 .<br />

13.38 In 2011/12, 76.8% of category A (immediately life threatening conditions) 999 calls<br />

received an emergency response within 8 minutes of the call being received. A vehicle<br />

able to transport the patient to hospital arrived within 19 minutes of these calls 98% of<br />

the time. Table 14 below shows the response time of SECAmb compared to<br />

ambulance services in other parts of the country for 2011/2012.<br />

Local <strong>Plan</strong><br />

13.39 As aforementioned in this report, it is estimated that over the period 2011-2026,<br />

significant new residential units will be provided in the <strong>Borough</strong>. The location policies in<br />

the Local <strong>Plan</strong>; LP01-LP08 confirm where new development is expected in the <strong>Borough</strong><br />

over the plan period. Development would largely be focussed in the <strong>Borough</strong>’s Urban<br />

Areas, although development will also take place at the former DERA site in Longcross.<br />

13.40 As noted in the previous sub chapters, Strategic Policy 6 (SP06) which is concerned<br />

with supporting, promoting and encouraging tourism, recreation and leisure provision<br />

within the <strong>Borough</strong>, and Strategic Policy 10 (SP10) which is concerned with<br />

development and flood risk are also considered to be relevant in this case as both<br />

policies could have implications for emergency services resources.<br />

13.41 As Chertsey Ambulance Station is located in the Green Belt, SP01 would also be<br />

relevant for any redevelopment proposal at the site. This policy promotes strict<br />

protection of the Green Belt.<br />

Future provision<br />

13.42 The service provider has indicated that in Surrey, the provision of ambulance services<br />

will be consolidated in 4 major locations where depots will be built (over the 20 years<br />

period covered by the Surrey Capacity Project Phase 1 Final Report, June 2009).<br />

These are:<br />
