Economy 2.16 The local economy, in common with the rest of Surrey, is dominated by the service sector, which employs some 83% of the workforce, whilst manufacturing accounts for just 5%. Businesses and institutions in the Borough include: St Peters Hospital & NHS Trusts, Royal Holloway (University of London), The Veterinary Laboratory Agency, Thorpe Park, Procter and Gamble, Centrica, BUPA, Gartner UK, Samsung Electronics, Tesco Stores and Automatic Data Processing. Retail 2.17 In recent years there has been considerable redevelopment and intensification of Runnymede’s mainly low rise, lower density housing, together with development and redevelopment of commercial premises in town centres and business areas. House building in Runnymede has exceeded Surrey Structure Plan (2004) and South East Plan (2009) targets with an annual average of 273 additional dwellings being built over the past seven years. House prices are on average higher than in the rest of the South East and reflect prices in London. The availability of affordable housing to meet local needs remains a key issue in the Borough, as identified in the Council’s Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) (2008). 2.18 According to the Council’s Retail Study 2009, ‘income growth has also led to increased car ownership and personal mobility’. Going on to cite that ‘over the last 25 years, the number of households having access to one or more cars has increased from about 55% to about 75% nationally and the number with two or more cars has nearly trebled from 11% to 30%’. The Census 2001 figures on car ownership show that the numbers of households in the Borough with 1 or more cars or vans is 84.8%. Environment 2.19 Air quality within the Borough is currently within acceptable levels in most areas, but the Council did designate a third Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) in 2009. Emissions of greenhouse gases continue to be of concern. The prediction is that the greatest producer of these gases (road transport) will continue to increase, and that the lifestyle choices made by residents will demand greater energy consumption. 2.20 Local amenity can be considered in terms of noise, dust and light, and access to recreation and countryside. Other aspects which could be considered as factors in local amenity include countryside character, historic buildings and features, traffic volume and the environment. Background ambient noise levels have yet to be calculated for the Borough. Surrey County Council’s Local Transport Plan of July 2000 estimated however that 14% of the population was subjected to excessive road traffic noise. Road traffic noise was raised as an issue again in Local Transport Plan 2 (LTP2) published March 2006, and again in LTP3 (April 2011). 2.21 There are both challenges to be faced and opportunities to embrace as the effects of climate change progressively accelerate. In 2007, the combined CO2 emissions for the Borough were an estimated 808 kt, of which 49 % was attributed to road transport – (see Figure 2 below). Page | 19 Runnymede IDP DRAFT – February 2013
Figure 2-Total CO2 emissions for Runnymede in 2007 Flooding and water 2.22 Flooding is of major concern in the Borough. According to the latest Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) (published 2009), 63% of residential properties in the Borough are at some form of flood risk. Currently, the combined number of residential and commercial properties in Runnymede at risk of flooding is 21,603. 2.23 Water consumption is estimated to be at a rate of 163 litres per person per day with little or no stress on the capacity of the water system. The Council is unaware of any major concerns regarding the groundwater protection zone within the Borough at this time. River quality is also acceptable, with the majority of rivers within the Borough being rated as good or very good quality (Environment Agency - 2009 river quality data). 2.24 The same cannot be said for levels of nitrates in the Borough’s rivers. Specifically, river sites sampled in Runnymede by the Environment Agency are generally in the grade range of 4-6 (moderate – very high) and phosphates are generally in the grade range of 4-5 (high – very high). Sources of nutrients in the Thames and Way catchments include effluent from sewage treatment works and agriculture (for more information on water resources see Section 8 of the Sustainability Appraisal Report 2012). Biodiversity 2.25 Runnymede is host to a number of National, European and Internationally designated sites that are afforded legal protection. This enhances Runnymede’s value in terms of habitat and biodiversity. The Borough is also adjacent to sensitive sites such as Chobham Common Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which is a component of Thames Basin Heaths Special Protected Area and Thursley, Ash, Pirbright and Chobham Special Area of Conservation. In 2004, 2% of the land in Runnymede was designated as SSSIs. This has remained constant. Data compiled in June 2004 by English Nature (now Natural England) suggests that 16.4% of Runnymede’s SSSIs are in favourable condition, which means that there is considerable scope for improvement.
