This will provide improved facilities for nearby residents and also serve the adjacent hospital staff and visitors.\u00a0<br><br>However, W(E)RS endorses nearby resident concerns about the impact of the proposal upon local highway conditions, car parking management arrangements and increased pedestrian\/vehicular conflict at the Dorking Rd\/Hyland Mews junction. To that extent we fully support the reservations and request for further improvements set out in Surrey County Council Highways response.\u00a0<br><br>W(E)RS would especially urge that specific measures be put in place to:<br>&#8211; Regulate the times of goods deliveries to minimise the times when only 9 customer car parking spaces would be available.\u00a0<br><br>&#8211; Further modifications are also required at the road junction to enhance pedestrian safety from the increased number of cars turning into the car park. This is especially important with the large number of pupils who use this footway.\u00a0<br><br>&#8211; Car park management measures are also required to prevent the car park being used by Rosebery School parents dropping off or collecting pupils which is a clear risk from this proposal given the existing pressures on Hyland Mews from this activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WERS comments submitted on the Sainsbury&#8217;s Local planning application on the site of the former Lava Lounge &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodcoteepsomresidentssociety.org\/index.php\/2025\/04\/21\/sainsburys-local-planning-application-on-the-site-of-the-former-lava-lounge\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[106],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-planning-updates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sainsburys Local planning application on the site of the former Lava Lounge - Woodcote (Epsom) Residents Society<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.woodcoteepsomresidentssociety.org\/index.php\/2025\/04\/21\/sainsburys-local-planning-application-on-the-site-of-the-former-lava-lounge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sainsburys Local planning application on the site of the former Lava Lounge - Woodcote (Epsom) Residents Society\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"WERS comments submitted on the Sainsbury&#039;s Local planning application on the site of the former Lava Lounge ............
