13.43 The exact location of the depots has yet to be decided and the areas of search extend<br />

as far as 5 miles around each of the specified locations. The Surrey <strong>Infrastructure</strong><br />

Capacity Project Phase 1 Final Report, June 2009 indicates however that a rebuild of<br />

the existing ambulance station in Chertsey is proposed, on the same site as the<br />

existing. The proposed changes to facilities in Surrey are proposed to take place in<br />

2014/15 (it should be noted however that there is no extant permission at the Chertsey<br />

Ambulance Station site for its redevelopment at the time of writing this report).<br />

Costs and funding sources<br />

13.44 On 21st June 2007, the Department of Health announced that Ambulance Trusts would<br />

be eligible to apply for Foundation Trust (FT) status from 1st April 2009. SECAmb has<br />

applied for and achieved Foundation Trust status. This gives SECAmb more financial<br />

freedom and allows it to borrow funds as appropriate to support capital investments 43 .<br />

13.45 It is considered reasonable to assume therefore that the redevelopment of the Chertsey<br />

Ambulance site would be funded by the South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS<br />

Foundation Trust.<br />

13.46 The population growth predicted in the <strong>Borough</strong> over the plan period, in conjunction<br />

with climate change and the threat of terrorism are considered to represent the biggest<br />

threats to SECAmb resources. It is envisaged however that SECAmb will carry out their<br />

own assessment of the how these factors will impact on their existing resources (which<br />

serve the <strong>Borough</strong>) and forward plan accordingly.<br />

Conclusion<br />

IDPR048 Threat of terrorism Low High<br />

13.47 Overall, whilst a redevelopment of the Chertsey ambulance site is proposed during the<br />

plan period, the cost of any redevelopment scheme granted permission is considered<br />

most likely to be met by SECAmb. With the site redeveloped to provide improved<br />

facilities, it is considered that additional provision will not be required during the plan<br />

period.<br />
