Development Consent Order M25/A3 Wisley Interchange Planning Inspectorate Ref. TR010030 Representation on behalf of the Gardens Trust and their member organisation the Surrey Gardens Trust • Acknowledge the design changes that have been made to reduce the physical and other impacts on the Registered Parks and Gardens sites at RHS Wisley and Painshill Park (especially in relation to the Gothic Tower). • Note the positive discussions that have taken place with RHS and Painshill Park Trust. • Note the Statements of Significance for the two sites and broadly concur with their conclusions. • Accept that the Register area of Painshill Park to the north of and outside the Painshill Park Trust ownership is of a lesser overall significance. • Note that the proposals affecting this lengthy area alongside the A3 have been carefully considered and subject to change. • Note that the assimilation of the new boundaries with structures and landscaping will be the subject of further detailed consideration with land owners as part of purchase procedures and in final construction details. • Note that the topsoil storage area within the Painshill Park Register area will be restored to pre-existing condition. • Strongly support the Painshill Park Trust in their requirement for a replacement access at the western end of their ownership for both emergency and land management purposes. Note that this was provided for in earlier proposals without significant impact on the Register area. Yours sincerely, Margie Hoffnung Conservation Officer
