Waste Facilities
The site is situated alongside the built up edge of Horley, adjacent to a residential area.
Particularly those houses that sit alongside the access onto the site would be sensitive to
environmental nuisance.
The site is located within Horley.
Within a 5 km radius of the site lies Little Orchard Farm and landraising activities at
Jethart Oaks, Horley.
Visual Landscape/Impact The site lies on the western urban fringe of Horley. There is open countryside to the
north, west and south but good tree cover along the River Mole corridor immediately to
the west of the site. Potential for visual intrusion from urban area and properties to the
east and north. Sensitive design (involving low buildings) and layout of this site would
minimise visual impact.
