Policy SA20:

Between:

And
Welbeck Strategic Land (II) LLP
June 2021
Prepared by:
DMH Stallard LLP

11. Introduction
1.1 This Statement of Common Ground (SOCG) has been prepared by DMH
Stallard, acting as planning consultant for Welbeck Strategic Land (II) LLP
(“WSL”), who are promoting the land south and west of Imberhorne Upper
School, East Grinstead (the Site), allocated within the Mid Sussex Site
Allocations DPD (SA DPD) at Policy SA20.
1.2 It is prepared in response to the Mid Sussex SA DPD Examination and the
Inspectors Initial Matters, Issues and Questions (MIQs). In particular, this
SOCG responds to Matter 3 and demonstrating the deliverability of the
proposals as allocated at Policy SA20.
1.3 The land shown edged red and blue at Appendix A is land in WSL’s control
and owned by the landowner of Imbehorne Farm (“Farm Owner”). The land
shown edged blue on the plan at Appendix B is land owned by WSCC and
currently used as school playing fields associated with Imberhorne Secondary
School.
1.4 The Farm Owner and WSCC will enter into a land swap agreement whereby:
• the land edged blue (1.69ha) on Appendix B, is transferred to the
Farm Owner, to provide an alternative point of access to the land
allocated at Policy SA20.
• the land edged green (5.81ha) on Appendix B, is transferred to
WSCC for use as playing fields associated with Imberhorne
Secondary School.
1.5 The Heads of Terms for the land swap are agreed and the legal
documentation will shortly be negotiated.
1.6 The land swap will provide a net increase of 4.12ha of land to
WSCC/Imberhorne Secondary School, which land will deliver additional
playing fields, thereby enabling the future consolidation of Imberhorne Lower
School and Imberhorne Upper School onto a single campus. The Imberhorne
Lower School site is allocated for residential development at Policy SS3 of
the East Grinstead Neighbourhood Plan (extract at Appendix C). The
consolidation of the school campuses onto a single site is an aspiration of
WSCC.
1.7 Additionally, Policy SA20 requires that land is provided for a Two Form Entry
Primary School, with early years provision. WSCC have identified a need for
the primary school, arising from future growth in the locality and from the
development proposal.
22. The Site
2.1 The Site, known as ‘land south and west of Imberhorne Upper School,
Imberhorne Land East Grinstead’ is allocated in the SA DPD at Policy SA20.
2.2 The land edged red and blue (“Residential Land”) on the plan at Appendix A
is owned by a single landowner and is under the control of WSL through a
Promotion Agreement. The land edged red is allocated at Policy SA20.
2.3 The land edged blue (“School Land”) on the plan at Appendix B is land
owned by WSCC and forms part of the playing fields at Imberhorne Upper
School.
33. Matters Agreed
Land Transfer
3.1 Heads of Terms for a land swap agreement between WSL, the Farm Owner
and WSCC have been agreed and the contract documents will be negotiated
shortly.
3.2 The land swap will provide an alternative point of access to the Residential
Land.
3.3 The land swap will also provide a net increase of 4.12ha of playing fields for
Imberhorne Secondary School. This could facilitate the consolidation of the
school campuses which is a long held aspiration of the school, supported by
WSCC, and reflected in the allocation of the Imberhorne Lower School site in
the East Grinstead Neighbourhood Plan for residential development (Policy
SS3).
3.4 The land swap agreement will:
• Transfer ownership of the School Land to the Farm Owner.
• Transfer ownership of the land edged green (5.81ha) on Appendix B,
to WSCC.
3.5 The transfer of land under the land swap agreement will be triggered on the
later of the completion of the playing field works (paragraph 3.6 below) and
the grant of outline planning consent. The transfer of the land under the land
swap agreement is subject to WSCC Cabinet Member approval, DfE approval
and valuation approval.
3.6 The land swap agreement requires the new playing field land to be delivered
to a pre-agreed specification, prior to the transfer of the land edged blue
(Appendix B), ensuring the ongoing provision of playing fields.
Two Form Entry Primary School with Early Years Provision
3.7 Policy SA20 provides land for a two form entry primary school with early
years provision. WSCC confirm that there will be need for a new primary
school as a result of background growth as well as the development itself.

East Grinstead Neighbourhood Plan
November 2016
Imberhorne Lower School, Windmill Lane
9.7 At present Imberhorne Lower School is located over two separate campus sites:
Imberhorne Lane and the other in Windmill Lane. However, strategic proposals by West
Sussex County Council have been put forward for the consolidation of the site and closure
of the Windmill Lane site. The site is well located and suited to the provision of new
housing and the continued provision of an area of open space for community use. The
site is identified in figure 9 overleaf.
9.8 The Imberhorne School Head Teacher, Board of Governors, West Sussex County
Council, and East Grinstead Town Council are working together in partnership to support
and deliver the objective of achieving one consolidated School campus at the
existing Imberhorne Lane site. A development consultant team has been appointed by the
School to prepare initial designs for a single school on the site of the Upper School. This
will involve the incorporation of the eight hundred and ten students currently at the
separate Windmill Lane lower school building, thereby releasing this land for future
housing development as allocated within Policies EG6B and SS3.
9.9 Significantly, this will support the creation of a new school that is fully fit for purpose on
single unified campus. A joint venture development delivery board will be formed to agree
design proposals, coordinate the joint site planning process and deliver the new school
buildings.
SS3 – Imberhorne Lower School, Windmill Lane
Planning permission will be granted for the redevelopment of the site for residential uses,
provided that:
(1) A development brief has been prepared, which explains the design approach for
the site, including the mix of uses, any phased development and highway
mitigation;
(2) The school site can be demonstrated to be surplus to requirements and alternative
school provision has been secured elsewhere;
(3) The proposals include an element of public open space and children’s play
facilities; and
(4) The proposals include a mix of dwelling types including a meaningful proportion of
