Deeply saddened by Surrey CC’s approach to the environment.
When they first proposed moving Reigate Priory School to Woodhatch Place they publicly committed to Biodiversity Net Gains of 10%.
In the most recent Environmental Impact Assessment they are promising just 0.03%!

The new Conservative candidate for Reigate is @Rebecca_SPaul. Well, she seems… er… different.
Just a couple of quick questions about SCC’s proposal for Reigate Priory Sch..
1) Is a new consultation required to bring it back to the planning committee?
2) If it is re-presented, can the committee object on new grounds?

A heartfelt thank you to all the members of the public that spoke so eloquently in opposition and to everyone that gave up their morning to attend the meeting.
Delighted to play my part preventing proposed move of Reigate Priory junior school, to a site that would be unsafe, increase environmental damage, and force hundreds who currently walk into cars. Me at 18:00. mycouncil.surreycc.gov.uk/ie…

SCC was still tinkering with their planning application for Woodhatch Place YESTERDAY! They haven’t even properly assessed the land’s stability.
This ill-thought out proposal needs to be refused.

The meeting to decide what happens to Reigate Priory School is at 10:30am tomorrow (Wednesday) at Surrey Council's offices at Woodhatch Place.
You don't need an invitation to go.
Be there, or be an ugly metal box.

Hi there, does anyone know what is happening to the office building between West Street and Slipshoe Street? (the one with the medieval undercroft below it)

This is important. The entire case by Surrey Council for moving Reigate Priory school was based on a DfE report judging the building unfit/beyond improvement. Time and again residents asked to see the report. Now we know. There is no report. Surrey, you cannot behave like this
Response to your DfE enquiry:
"There is no report produced by the department that focuses solely on the issue of suitability at the current school site on Bell Street, Reigate"
Thanks DfE for finally confirming what we knew already 🙄

Surrey CC STILL publicly committing to a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain to compensate for the destruction of trees at Woodhatch Place (just checked their FAQs) when IN REALITY their planning application can’t even achieve 1%.
Green credentials only when it suits them.
Truly shocking that a planning decision that will massively impact on Reigate families, the wider Reigate community, Reigate’s local businesses, Reigate’s urban open space and, arguably, the most important building in Reigate is NOT being made by Reigate Councillors.
The application by @SurreyCouncil to build a new school building to house Reigate Priory Junior School will go to their Planning Committee next Wednesday - full agenda and paperwork is here: mycouncil.surreycc.gov.uk/ie…

This picture sums up Surrey CC’s approach to Woodhatch Place. Destroy high priority woodland, disturb commuting/foraging bats & inflict other environmental harms - All fine though as long as the new building has a green roof and a couple of 🐛 🐞 hotels.
@hpp_sos @SurreyGreens
Multiple local families submitted STRONG HEARTFELT OBJECTIONS to the proposal to relocate Reigate Priory School on the basis it is a near impossible distance from Holmesdale.
How does the Case Officer summarise these? Look👇 Unbelievable!
@hpp_sos
@hpp_sos @yourtownreigate
Ridiculous! The woodland that would be destroyed at Woodhatch Place is so important the proposal can’t meet biodiversity trading rules.
Yet, Surrey CC’s case officers don’t consider the Woodhatch Place site to have any significant ecological value 🤷♀️
@hpp_sos @yourtownreigate
The way in which this documents presents the public’s MANY objections is insulting. Reduces well considered and carefully crafted arguments to random haphazard comments.
Deliberate strategy designed to lessen their impact.
SCC CONFIRM (during school hols) they will take Reigate Priory School Planning App to their OWN planning committee 22 Feb..And SURPRISE..the SCC Case Officer supports it 🤔 @hpp_sos @SosPriory @LoveReigate @yourtownreigate @ReigateUK @GuardianEdu Look👀..

Dear @SurreyCouncil given SurreyCC has significantly amended its planning application for a new school at Woodhatch Place, please can you confirm when the Council will be reconsulting?
