  	I have already mentioned that Chipstead railway station has
been important in encouraging the growth of Chipstead and its
changing land uses. However it now seems that the station  is to
make way for development itself.

	The station sidings were closed 30 years ago and have
remained unused ever since. There has been an application to build
a set of flats on this land and this was allowed. However, so far
these flats have not appeared because of the lack of demmand for
housing in recent years. Now the station building itself is up for
sale to anybody. The reason for this is the increased
electrification of the railway which means that everything can now
be carried out automatically without the need for human
intervention.

	I think this example shows that land use can also develop
and what was once used for one thing can easily be used for
something else, even though the physical factors haven't changed. I
think that apart from the factors I have already mentioned land use
depends on social and economic factors, as well as technical
developments. However I also think it is true to say that in a
village such as Chipstead, individual areas may change but the
whole site remains the same overall - a village with a great number
of fields and woodland - and this could never really change in
Chipstead.
