Surrey county-wide infrastructure study to manage development of projected growth
The Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for the South East, also known as the draft South East Plan, will require over 59,000 new homes to be built in Surrey renewing concerns about how such growth is to be managed. The county�s response, one of the first of its kind in local government in England, is taking the form of a county-wide infrastructure study to assess the overall impact of a projected 20 per cent increase in new build homes between 2006-2026 on its roads, rail, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure.
The work will involve Surrey County Council, 11 district and borough councils, key infrastructure providers (transport,
utilities, education, health) and other interested stakeholders (the voluntary sector, community services, business).
