To update the Conservators on the use of the Owners and Trainers and Derby Arm Car Parks by the Racecourse during 2022 and to formally request permission for ad-hoc use in 2023.

The Conservators received an update on the use of the Owners and Trainers and Derby Arm car parks by the Racecourse during 2022 and to formally request permission for ad-hoc use in 2023.

The following matter was considered:

a)            Change to car park numbers. The Conservators noted that the Owners and Trainers and Derby Arms car parks were no longer numbered as car parks 2 and 6 by Epsom Downs Racecourse. The numbers would be updated in future applications.

b)           Restriction of access. The Conservators noted that vehicular access to the Derby Arms car park area was restricted by a steel barrier while the area was not being used a temporary car park.

Following consideration, the Conservators unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Note the level use by the Jockey Club of the Owners and Trainers car park and Derby Arms car park during 2022.

(2)      Approve an application by the Jockey Club to use these car parks during 2023 for ad-hoc events, subject to the production of a Management Plan to be approved by senior officers in consultation with the Chair of the Conservators.
