About
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is preparing a new Local Plan, which will plan for the development needs (including housing, employment, retail and open space) of the borough over the period to 2043. In order to do this, we are preparing a Local Economic Needs Assessment to assess the need for employment accommodation in the borough. We are collecting evidence to understand the current business market. In particular:
- Whether Reigate & Banstead’s business market is self-contained.
- What factors influence the borough’s business market: for example availability of premises, age of premises, size of premises, cost of premises, proximity of Gatwick Airport, proximity of London etc.
- Where enquires for business premises in the borough come from, what type of facilities they are looking for and what areas they are looking at.
- What factors attract/prevent businesses from locating within the borough.
- Your opinion on the employment sites in the borough.
- If new employment accommodation were to be provided, where it should be provided.
- Whether you are aware of any firms relocating either into/away from the borough and factors which are either pulling them from the borough/attracting them to the borough.
- Current availability of industrial/warehousing/office accommodation in the borough and whether you think there are any gaps in the market.
This survey will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to complete. This survey will close at 10am on Friday 25th April 2025.
