Ajax approved

At last Thursday night's Development Control Committee, Tandridge Councillors approved the plans to redevelop the Ajax site on the Holland Road to provide a nursing home, medical centre, light industrial units and some office space.

While most councillors present were concerned what that would mean for traffic movements along Woodhurst Lane, Hurst Green and Holland Road (and also for parking on the highway outside the site) the general feeling was that this was as good a proposal as were likely to get, combining job opportunities, a vital contribution to local infrastructure and a traffic volumes some 76% lower than they might otherwise have been.
