Send NDP Character Assessment 2019
Introduction & Background
What is it?
“A character assessment is a document that describes the distinct appearance and feel of a settlement or an area. It communicates
the key physical features and characteristics that combine to give a particular settlement or an area its local distinctiveness and unique
identity.” (How to prepare a character assessment to support design policy within a Neighbourhood Plan, Planning Aid England)
The Character Assessment document will create an understanding of a development’s setting and the character of the local area. The
document which describes the existing character of the neighbourhood area will enable;
• development to keep with the feel and appearance of the local area and
• developers progress sensitively designed proposals
“Landscape reflects the relationship between people and place, and the part it plays in forming the setting to our everyday lives. It is a
product of the interaction of the natural and cultural components of our environment, and how they are understood and experienced
by people.” Christine Tudor – Natural England
Benefits
Poorly designed development proposals are often the result of a lack of understanding of, or in some cases a disregard for, the
character, feel and appearance of the local area. Such proposals can fail to conserve or enhance the unique qualities of the local
area for which they are proposed, and may harm and erode the existing character.
Conversely, good design, that is both visually attractive and functional, stems from having an understanding of a development’s setting
and the character of the local area. This understanding can help to ensure that new development proposals are of an appropriate
design; one that respects and compliments the existing local character.
By preparing a character assessment you have the opportunity to document and describe the existing character of your
neighbourhood area. The character assessment can then be used by developers and their architects to help them understand the
local character. This in turn will help them to progress sensitively designed proposals, in keeping with the feel and appearance of your
local area.

Methodology of the Send NDP Character Assessment during the desktop exercise using parish boundary maps of the
built up area.
This assessment has been carried out using a combination of
approaches by the 2004 Natural England guidance “An
Approach to Landscape Character Assessment” and Planning
Aid England (Character assessment – Putting the pieces
together).
A parishwide neighbourhood plan survey was undertaken
between April and May 2018. The concept of a character
assessment was explained across two pages listing all possible
ten criteria of what constitutes or contributes to a character of
an area. Residents were asked to identify areas within the Parish
with prominent features of any or more of the criteria. The
criteria listed with descriptions were
1. Layout
2. Topography
3. Land use
4. Roads, Streets, routes
5. Buildings and Details
6. Streetscape
7. Landmarks
8. Green and Natural Features
9. Spaces
10. Views
Residents were asked to be involved in a character assessment
workshop to be held the following month which will enhance
and build on the outcome of the survey
Defining Purpose and Scope – A half day workshop was held on
Monday 18th June 2018 at the Lancaster Hall on Send Road. The
first part of the workshop was to define the purpose and scope
of the assessment. 13 common character areas were identified
5
Send NDP Character Assessment 2019
Field Survey – The group was split into 4 area group (depending
on attendees interest and where the live) to go out with their
notepads, templates and cameras to the identified common
character areas and record all observations including taking
pictures – During the field survey the identified key
characteristics and features of each character area were
recorded on a standardised template/form.
Upon return form the walkabout, each character area group
summarised its observations to the whole group. The next step
was for each group to compile their findings in more details
regarding desk research findings, maps and field record
sheets/templates to inform the various classifications and
descriptions compiled into the draft report.
Consultation – The draft report will be shared with the character
assessment workshop attendees, Send NDP Working Group,
Send Parish Council and Guildford Borough Council for their
comments. The draft will be amended using feedback received
before it goes out to consultation with residents as part of the
neighbourhood plan Regulation 14 consultation.

Send NDP Character Assessment 2019
Historic Development of Send Parish
Send is a village and civil parish in the Guildford borough and acquired its name during the Great English An extract from Rocque’s map of 1762
Vowel Shift from the word sand, which was extracted at various periods until the 1990s for construction
and other purposes at pits in the outskirts of the Parish. Send is buffered by Metropolitan Green Belt from
other villages and towns except for the Grove Heath neighbourhood of Ripley. A rural band of the
village adjoins the River Wey including Cartbridge and Send Marsh – this land has been drained and the
river tamed by sluices, the Broadmead Cut and the Wey Navigation, adjoining. The vast majority of the
built-up areas are not within an area of flood risk. Between the Wey and its canal in the far north of the
Parish are the Papercourt and Broad Mead SSSIs.
In 1762 there was no village, just a few houses round the church and a few at Send Marsh plus scattered
farms. There may have been no village but locally-found flints show there was settlement from pre-
historic times.
SEND CHURCH AND SURROUNDINGS - The rising ground close to the river seems to have been an
attractive spot for settlement. The ancient mound down Church Lane has had a place of worship for
over a thousand years. The earliest part of the current church, the chancel, is thought to be ca1220 and
the nave and tower from the 15th century. The old houses that are still in existence include the old hall
house, a 16th century timber-framed yeoman farmer’s house that now stands on the Send Grove estate. Map 2
The house pre-dates Send Grove and was possibly empty from about 1600 until Send Grove was built
around 1760.
SEND GROVE – Was built around 1760 as a home for Lt General William Evelyn, great grandson of the
diarist John Evelyn. The Lodge to Send Grove is a small one-bay hall house at the top of Church Lane.
Originally a farm cottage, perhaps once owned by a farmer called Potter - hence Potters Lands, then
Potters Lane. Later it became the lodge to Send Grove at the top of the drive.
CARTBRIDGE - On the map of 250 years ago, there was no settlement at Cartbridge. The road crosses
the Wey Navigation but the area is described as Send Heath and shows no housing. The area was used
as a summer camp for troops but development came later. The Navigation, built between 1651-53, was
a significant development for the growth of Send because of the boat traffic which followed on from its
construction. Slowly development grew up round the crossing point, partly as a result of the Inclosure Act
(1803) and Awards (1814-15). The map of 1897 shows houses running down to the towpath in what is now
Potters Lane.
SEND MARSH GREEN- On the 1762 map it is possible to see a little community at Send Marsh Green. The
7
Send NDP Character Assessment 2019
first mention of Send Marsh to have surfaced is in a deed of 1623 in which it refers to Maybanckes at Map 3
Send Mershe. Send Marsh Green, which extends to Aldertons, would have been common land,
probably low-lying. Old Manor Cottage is the oldest domestic building in Send and it has been dated to
the first half of the 15th century. Other historic survivors are Send Marsh Cottage, formerly Pullens
Cottages, which dates from the18th Century and April Cottage, a typical smaller timber-framed house
from the second half of the16th century. Corner Cottage is of similar period. What is now Willow Pool
barn was the principal building in the former farmyard of Send Marsh Farm. Send Manor or The Manor
House was probably built around 1670. These are the principal period buildings that survive and of
course there are now many more modern additions, but Send Marsh has managed to remain a distinct
community.
FARMS, THE SCHOOL AND OTHER LOCAL EMPLOYERS - The area now called Send was basically
heathland, but surrounding areas were agricultural. As we have seen there was Send Court Farm down
by the church. In Potters Lane there was Cricketshill Farm and across the field was Hillside Farm, what is
now Aldertons at Send Marsh. Cottages, no doubt some of them tied cottages, would have been
needed for agricultural workers. The farms also used horses and these needed shoeing and machinery
needed mending and this led to another big step forward for Send – the smithy. On the 1897 map there
are still very few houses along what is now Send Road but the smithy is close to the crossroads. The other
Send Church
innovation was the school on Send Hill. With more houses gradually springing up, there were more
children. The tannery was also at one time a local employer and was situated on the edge of the
developing village.
THE COMING OF THE RAILWAY - The big game-changer in the development of Send was the coming of
the railway to Woking which was built and opened in stages, and the first section was opened on 21st
May 1838. The road through Send became significantly more important as a route to the expanding
conurbation of Woking. By 1920 one side of Send Road had been developed and the church rooms and
the Institute (now the Lancaster Hall) built; slowly Send was being knitted together. By the 1930s the
recreation ground and the war memorial were in place. The growing population required more shops
and the parade of shops near the Rec was built. More housing was built along Send Hill taking
advantage of disused gravel extraction sites. Send Marsh Road between the crossroads and Send Marsh
Green also saw increased development. Send is a series of small settlements that gradually grew
together over hundreds of years. (History extracted from Send & Ripley History Society No. 257 |

Gaps between Woking, Guildford, Send Marsh and Burnt Common
Gap 1 – The The gap between Woking and Send is also the gap between Woking Borough Council and Guildford Borough Council.
Gap between This gap main characteristic is that it is the part of the Wey Valley Corridor and is made of the water meadows and is
Woking and criss- crossed by many small streams running into the River Wey. The Wey Navigation is distinct from the River Wey in this
Send area and the Navigation is generally higher than the river and also acts barrier when the river frequently floods. This
area has many footpaths with walkers and bikers being frequent users of the tow path. The Navigation provides
recreational activities. Narrow boats, kayaks and fishing all use the Wey Navigation. This gap between the settlements
is a green environmental buffer zone which protects the rural nature of Send. This area provides a natural barrier
between urban Woking and rural Send and it is one of the features which give Send its identity.
Gap 2 - The The fields on either side of the A3 provide the main gap between Send and Guildford but this is outside of the Parish.
Gap between The fields on either side of Potters Lane are a barrier to the town of Guildford and in particular the areas of Burpham
Send and and Jacob’s Well and Slyfield extending north to Send. This area is important in preventing settlement coalescence
Guildford and the associated loss of character that would result if the town of Guildford and the village of Send were joined.
Gap 3 - The The Parish of Send comprises of the settlements of Send, Send Marsh and Burnt Common as acknowledged on the
Gap between Parish Council logo
Send, Send
Marsh and
Burnt Common
Each settlement has its own characteristics and if these were joined the consequence would be that each settlement
would lose its distinct character and would undermine the identity of Send Parish. It would bring about an associated
loss of character to the village. The gap between these settlements is important in the green infrastructure of Send and
its eco-system. It provides an important green corridor for wild life and links the higher ridge of the area around the
Portsmouth Road with the water meadows of the River Wey.

Send NDP Character Assessment 2019CHARACTER AREA A - WEY NAVIGATION & RIVER WEY
Summary Description
A very tranquil and attractive countryside area away from the business of the main road and traffic noise. The variety in the nature and all the
wildlife add to the enjoyment of the river as a lovely place to have on your doorstep for those who live in or nearby Send. Wherever you go along
The Wey Navigation the views are beautiful whether it is across open fields or picturesque scenes at Triggs Lock or Worsfold Gates. Over the canal
bridge on to the tow path is Send Business Centre in Tannery Lane with windows overlooking canal and fields beyond. Further along is a new marina
basin with a number of boats moored. New Inn pub and mixture of Semi-detached houses and bungalows. Residential properties with gardens back
onto the river at the end of Wharf Lane (bungalows), Sanger Drive (all detached). A large estate house (Ashburton House) with ornamental statues in
garden backing onto canal. A modern house with immaculate garden and high security backing onto tow path by canal. Along from Sanger Drive
small scout hut and boat house. Off Potters Lane is a small boat house for Sea Rangers and a large factory at Vision Engineering.
Key Characteristics
• Flat meandering river navigation, low lying in a corridor/valley.

Summary Description
The key impressions are of a very green environment and of a great variety of buildings ranging from terraces to semi-detached and detached houses.
There is a stretch of road lined by bungalows separated from the main road by an access road protected by a grass verge. Interspersed along the road are
businesses such as shops, a garage and car sales-room, community rooms. There are modern offices and a manufacturing business and a pub. The highest
point along this stretch of road is the Burnt common roundabout junction with the London and Portsmouth roads. The A247 then winds downhill to the flat
valley and the main settlement of Send. Send Road is flanked by a variety of housing. The oldest house is 400 years old. There are bungalows, terraces, semi-
detached and detached houses.
From Burnt Common to Send Hill traffic-lights the A247 runs through the village through to The New Inn before bearing sharpish right across the Broadmead
to Old Woking. The A247 is remarkably green in appearance. It is tree-lined with many broad grass verges, stretches of hedging and unmown swathes of
wild-flowers and daffodils. The A247 crosses over the Wey Navigation at Cartbridge and then is named as the Broadmead Road from the area it cuts
through. There are a number of small bridges in this area going over tributary streams of the Wey and then crossing the Wey at the boundary of Send Parish.
There is a Nature Area off Sanger Drive with two ponds. The Recreation ground is bordered by trees on three sides and a wooden fence with shrubs facing
the A247

Send NDP Character Assessment 2019AREA F - TANNERY LANE
Summary Description
Originally Tannery Lane would have been a route from farms & small-holdings to the main N/S Road that is now the A247. Beyond the built up area
on the edge of Send is farmland (a Marina under development, Send Business Centre, and the Nature Reserve which is part of the Papercourt
Complex of Meadows & SSSIs on the north west side of Tannery Lane beyond the ‘canal’. The Private Nature Reserve in the corner of Tannery Lane is
run by the Surrey Wildlife Trust as a water bird / amphibian habitat. The area is drained by streams leading into the River Wey.
Mixed land-use including residential giving way to Farmland (on the east side of Tannery Lane or on the right as you come from Send Rd),

Wey Valley to the remains of the historic Woking Palace and beyond to the tower blocks of Central Woking.
Key Characteristics
• A narrow country Lane
• Flat, fertile, plain of the River Wey.
• Mixed land-use (Residential, farmland, commercial, leisure and employment)
• Semi-detached Victorian cottages on small plots with detached converted farm
houses/cottages on larger plots.
• All residential buildings are two stories high and brick built under tiled roofs.
• The lane is tarmarced
• Landmarks include Send Business Centre, River Wey
• Navigation and the Papercourt Complex of Meadows and Sites of Special
Scientific Interest (SSSIs)
• Private Nature Reserve in the corner of Tannery Lane
• A Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI) – this site is adjacent to Papercourt
Marsh (See map 1 – page 12)
38
Send NDP Character Assessment 2019Layout (Relationship The first few hundred yards of Tannery Lane nearest Send Road comprise Victorian Cottages on narrow plots on the right
between buildings, with much wider, deeper plots on the left which have mixed usage. Thus there is a Garage, Send (Working Men’s) Club
spaces and routes) and a disused Nursery on the left which now trades in sun-dried logs utilising the old greenhouses to dry the logs. The
nursery has a 1970s? Office Block on part of the site fronting the lane. Behind the Nursery fields stretch down to the
Navigation. The disused Nursery is earmarked as a development site for 60 houses in the Local Plan.
Beyond the Nursery/Office Block/Cottages there is open farmland on the left used for grazing/crops (most of which is land-
filled) and a couple of larger houses on the right on large, wide plots which were once farm houses or farm worker’s
cottages. Beyond the Farm House / Cottages on the left is an area of Land currently being developed as a Marina serving
the Wey navigation Wey Navigation following granting of Planning Permission ca. 3 years ago, and ‘Send Business Centre’
(SBC), now a multi-purpose light industrial / office services site which acts as a base for a large number of small businesses
operating across a number of different sectors with a large Car Park and a number of Storage Containers on the opposite
side of the road. In the distant past it was a Tannery which gave its name to the lane on which the Business Centre now
sits. Beyond SBC, Tannery Lane forms the boundary of the Parish, with a number of cottages / bungalows on the left and
open-farmland, the occasional cottage and the nature reserve occupying the Send side.

Send NDP Character Assessment 2019AREA G - POLESDEN LANE, SEND MARSH GREEN & SEND MARSH ROAD (west)
Summary Description
Polesden Lane and Send Marsh Road (westbound from Send Marsh Green) features most of the oldest surviving buildings in Send, many of which are
listed. The other dwellings in the area are mid 20thC with the exception of the 1990s Danesfield Estate which is largely hidden from the ‘main’ road
with the exception of the four houses fronting it. Polesden Lane has green verges and is prone to surface water ‘flooding’ following heavy rainfall due
to topography and poor drainage. Send Marsh Road has a kerb and pavement on one side and green verges on the other, and again is in need of
repair in parts. Both Polesden lane & B368 have a pavement on one side and verges / hedgerows on the other. All other roads are cul-de-sacs
giving access to the houses thereon.
Further along Polesden Lane comes Send Marsh Green, one of the two oldest surviving areas of Send to be developed with a number of listed
buildings on two sides of the triangular Green. The third side of the Green is taken up by mid 20thC bungalows/semi-detached houses. On Send
Marsh Road between the Green and Send Village is a row of Bungalows, then open fields/areas of woodland delimiting Send Marsh from Send
interspersed with large detached houses. There are a number of ponds due to the low-lying nature of land and a number of footpaths through the
farmland on both sides of Send Marsh Rd through to Tannery Lane to the North / Portsmouth Road to the South
Key Characteristics
• A flat, fertile river plain.
• Landmarks are The Green, Manor House, Aldertons, Goodgrove and the Old Hall
Residential Home
• Detached or semi-detached buildings on relatively large plots, brick built or timber-
framed with brick infill under tiled roofs
• Buildings date back to the 15th and 17th centuries.
• A light industrial estate on the Rio Estate,
• Fields used for grazing horses or left fallow
• Roads are mainly fronted by hedges or dwarf walls / fences topped with hedges.
• There are allotments leased by Send Parish Council situated off Polesden Lane and the
Green.
• Modern Danesfield Estate built in late 1990’s
• There is a medieval moated site and earlier earthwork south of Boughton Hall. This moat
survives well despite the former presence of a piggery on the moat island. It is of
somewhat unusual form and retains considerable potential for the recovery of evidence
of the nature and duration of use of the site both from the moat island and from the
moat itself.

Send NDP Character Assessment 2019Layout (Relationship The first developed area along Polesden Lane from its junction with Tannery Lane is the Rio Estate, a light industrial estate

and routes) Estate is a 40 unit 1990s housing estate developed on a site previously famous for breeding Great Danes. Further along
Polesden Lane comes Send Marsh Green, one of the two oldest surviving areas of Send to be developed with a number
of listed buildings on two sides of the triangular Green. The third side of the Green is taken up by mid 20thC
bungalows/semi-detached houses, the latter being mainly timber-framed perhaps to echo the age of the earlier
buildings. The plots around the Green are relatively large so there is a limited amount of 20thC
infilling/backfilling/redevelopment of outbuildings of the homes fronting the Green and accessed from it.
On Send Marsh Road between the Green and Send Village, there is a row of Bungalows, then open fields/areas of
woodland which delimit Send Marsh from Send interspersed with large detached houses, two of which are listed. There is
also the Old Hall Residential Home which has been re-developed as a Care Home with newer buildings behind the
original. The fields have more recently been used for grazing horses or left fallow rather than farmed with many of the
out-buildings of Alderton’s Farm being recently re-developed as housing. The area beyond Ockham Mill Stream
comprises largely smaller linked / semi-detached houses or similar, adjacent to the A247, Send Road and is more akin to
Send itself.
