EH-EN3: Landscape Features

Development proposals in East Horsley are expected to take into account their impact on local landscape features of visual merit or historic significance, including landscape features such as sunken chalk lanes, historic embankments, stone or brick boundary walls and established lakes or ponds.

For the purposes of this policy such landscape features shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • the chalk banks found in Chalk Lane;
  • the historic embankments found in The Forest, Great Ridings Wood and Sheepleas;
  • Pennymead Lake, The Pond, House Pond and Dick Focks’ Pond;
  • Stone or brick boundary walls or retaining walls built prior to 1920 and any of the bridges of the Lovelace Bridges Trail;
  • Scheduled monuments identified in SCC’s Surrey Historic Environment Record.
