23rd April 1993

This Order transfers areas between the counties of Greater London and Surrey, affecting the boundaries of the London borough of Croydon with the borough of Reigate and Banstead and with the district of Tandridge.

Changes are also made in the boundary between the London boroughs of Bromley and Croydon. Consequential alterations are made to the boundaries of local government electoral areas, of petty sessional divisions, of coroners' districts, and of the Metropolitan Police District.

Many of the transfers effected are small, consisting of minor realignments.

The larger transfers are described in the Table at the end of this Note, which also gives in approximate terms the total area (hectares) and population affected by each set of transfers. The Table is a general guide only to the areas affected, and the maps mentioned in article 2 should be inspected for full details of all transfers. Any person may inspect the maps at any reasonable time at the offices of the council for each borough or district affected, and additionally at the offices of the Secretary of State for the Environment located in 2, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3EB.

The Local Government Area Changes Regulations 1976 contain general provisions regarding the effect of orders such as this one. A special provision in the Order excludes Chipstead Valley Primary School from the usual rules relating to property transfer (which are contained in regulation 62).
