many work era as the district can house there is such a labour shortage that one local engineering firm has to have fis export orders ful filled in belgium this was stated during a public inquiry at woking when conten ding that three industrial build ings on an island site in an indus trial area at oyster lane by- fleet wouht not affect either the industrial tk rhouslng position a firm of developers appealed ag ainst the failure of surrey county council to issue a decision on their application for buildng con sent for the developers ronald ly on estates company ltd mr r f ventrs chartered surveyor stated that thye had recently de veloped estates in other areas in cluding hersham and chertsey in november 1956 it was dec ded to develop this site of just over one acre in oyster lane by- fleet as a speculative venture the first few months- were spent on neg6tiations with the vendors and planning authority and were taken up with discussions on the layout of industrial units with particular reference to car park log facilities this resulted in agreement with the developers in principle as to the layout of three industrial units on the site and at that time they did not press the authorities for a speedy deci sion mr p turnbull deputy coun ty planning officer described the site as an h shaped one in the centrer o fa small post war in dustnal estate of about 25 acres he dealt with the industrial dev elopment of the woking walton- weybndge and chertsey areas and stated that between july 1948 and october 1956 a substantial amount in millions of square feet of factory space had been approv ed 95 per cent had in fact been carried out in 1948 the combin ed populations of the three urban districts was 113220 in 1955 it was 130 490 an incdease of 17270 persons it was estimated that by 1971 a further 16310 persons could be accommodated and this excluded the capacity of west b fleet golf course about 3 000 per sons not now to be developed growth of industry locally was outstripping population and creat ing pressure on the green belt in demand for houses an increase in daily passenger traffic to cen tral london from local railway sta tions also indicated pressure on lo cal housing space by london it elf it was necessary to call a halt lo speculative factory building and the granting of permission for the use of further land for industry in the woking walton we bridge chertsey and egham areas mr fntns maintained that dev elopment of the site would not im pose pressure on housing because folk could travel long distances to i work there owing to its proximity to the railway he thought mors mechanization would result in fewer employees per square foot j of factor floor area j m e a vaughanneil the in spector asked m turnbull are the local council in favour of this application yes they are even after having heard the atatement of polio yes the inspector asked it ua- com mon tor a local council to approc development discouraged b the lo cal planning authority mr i turnbull replied that anything ol a restrictive nature was not neces sarily accepted the local author ity would be disposed to view this proposal with favor because it was industrial development in and in dustnal area mr g sandys winsch assistant solicitor for the county council said if industrial development was allowed to continue there would be insufficient land for housing under the provisions of the devel pmont plan moreover the indus trial demands fbrlsour would be come double the number of folk who could be accommodated with out encroaching on the green belt referring to the difficulty of control in such cases as this ha said that being under 5000 square take place without the board of trade having control and it was not really possible for the local authority to refuse permission at hersh 220 000 square feet had been developed with only three industrial development certificates covering an area of 43000 sq ft this was an indication of what could be done by subsequent ap plications which in many cases were like the present ones just under 5000 square feet this was something of a test case and if granted would lead the way to further similar applic ations there and elsewhere in the area where the county council was so concerned with this increa sing population resulting from i development there was the danger of having twice as many people as housing could pro perly cater for and it was a situa tion which the county coun cil was trying to contain the director of a local firm said further industrial develop ment would idcrease the difficul ty of obtaining engineers and workers although the erection of these factories would benefit htm financially because of a road he had built he doubted whether what council ok threaten court suit for auction damages threat of a court suit against the town was contained m a tor onto lawyers letter read at mon days council meeting samuel resnlck representing britash canadian sales itemized a list of expenses totalling 583 which he said were incurred for an advertised september 17 auc tion sale in the arena which sub sequently had to be cancelled when the firm was told the sale could not take place unless the town or the arena board settles the claim he has been instructed to commence a legal action the letter said he would be repaid because of the longterm policy of reducing the amount of labour available as a result of these labour diffi culties his firm had to get its ov erseas orders done in belgium ra ther than in tliis country they had workers elsewhere in england but could not transfer them to surrey because of the lack of hou ses although his firm paid is 6d an hour above the local rate they still could not get workers a representative of another firm declared that skilled labour tended to be absorbed by vickers for the developers it was con tended that these small buffer industries were a safeguard thought everyone hoped vickers and the aircraft industry would not run into trouble the inspector then visited the site his findings will be made known later council turned the letter over to the board tf parks management a claim for car damage on sar gent
