2.6 The Core Strategy provides the overarching context for the future development of the Borough. Policy CS9 sets out a specific strategy for Esher to 2026 and the Settlement Investment and Development Schedules contained in Appendix 2 of the Core Strategy provide an outline of the delivery of development and investment expected within the settlement area.  In summary the Core Strategy sets out:

• An anticipated level of housing provision in the area to be between 250 and 300 units between 2011 and 2026.
• Increase hotel capacity.
• No identified need for additional retail floorspace.
• 1 form of entry at primary school level (dependent on provision at Claygate).
• Parking strategy to give consideration to the adoption of a local management plan.

2.7 The delivery of development and infrastructure will change over time.  Up-to-date information will be included within the Council’s Infrastructure Delivery Plan, Authority’s Monitoring Report and Strategic Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment[1]
