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.
