Despite being rejected by both Reigate and Banstead Council and Surrey County Council’s planning committees, Surrey County Council are bringing back the plan to move Reigate Priory Junior School to a new building in the grounds of Woodhatch Place.

The consultation closes on 21st January 2024. Councillor Baart says “Residents and families have shared with me their frustration that there are no new details provided to address concerns raised about parking and travel to the Woodhatch Place site.” Councillor Baart continues “Now is the time for real alternatives to be properly considered, including redevelopment plans for the 1950s buildings and Grade II courtyard on the existing site, and/or developing new classrooms on the fire station site instead of new houses. It feels at present that the county council views this issue more as a property development deal than the need to provide long term school places for local families in the right places.”
