But before any decisions are taken on next steps, then the councillors will need to have the opportunity to consider the costs involved. and obviously the implications of whatever those surveys actually come up with. And all of that will inform a report to the executive in January.

So the report being given to the councillors in the next couple of three weeks, and then a big executive meeting in January. Of course, the Planet Reigate podcast will be looking over that. All of that information as it becomes available. Now, you can listen to more about the Harlequin in episode 48. We've got a breakdown of the reasons for the Harlequin closure.

Approval has been given for 120 assisted living flats in Redhill, as despite flood safety worries. So that draft scheme is for Noak Drive, which runs next to Redhill Brook, sits in high and medium risk flood zones, as the name might suggest, next to Redhill Brook. Did I ever tell you my first flat was on Brook Road in Redhill? To the Willows. I don't know who lives there now.

Maybe you're listening to me now. I used to live in your flat. So obviously with the risks associated with the nearby river, heavy rain, as I say, the name might suggest, Inevitably, some flats will be on the ground floor of this new building of 120 assisted living flats there on Noak Drive. Now, the decision was made at a Surrey County Council Planning and Regulatory Committee meeting.

It's not something that falls to Reigate and Banstead Borough Council in this particular instance. It was argued that flood risk considerations are minor, quote, compared to the need to build units people can live in. There's always going to be a balance, isn't there, about what one side wants and what another side wants, what one report says and what other evidence claims and so on.

And Surrey County Council actually owns the land. They want a six-storey building with, as I say, around 120 self-contained apartments for assisted living. The land, if you remember this, is the former Colebrook and Spectrum Noak Day Centre. It's part of Surrey County Council's programme to deliver 725 extra care affordable accommodation across the county by 2030.

And obviously, that's so elderly and vulnerable people as well. Not just the elderly can live by themselves, can live independently. They've still got access to support services, maybe some kind of warden on site. There may be a communal kitchen that serves up meals for everyone. It may be more of a communal kind of living area available there as well.

Obviously, the designs will be different in each different location. Planning officers say technical advice and data modelling shows that the extra care flats can be safely provided there at Noak Drive. As I say, issues of the actual design, how the building's going to look, the landscaping and so on, that's going to come later on down the line.
