Horley is a town in Surrey that borders Surrey and West Sussex. It is south of the twin towns of Reigate and Redhill, and neighbouring Gatwick Airport and Crawley. The town is at an altitude of around 54 metres above mean sea level and covers 4.34 square miles. It has a population of 21232. The Horley Master Plan, passed by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council in February 2005, permits the development of roughly 2600 new houses. This will cover the Metropolitan Green Belt, which is permitted if the local plan satisfies national requirements, including the ability to exhibit environmental sustainability and maintaining the character of localities. Due to frequent and fast train links to London from Horley Train Station, Horley qualifies as a commuter town. Two thirds of the working population commute to London or Crawley, with the remaining one 3rd working nearby. Horley has a considerable economy of its own, consisting of the presence of business parks and a long high street containing business chain stores and independent services. It was home to the Matbro works, which produced forklift trucks between the 1950s and the 1980s and founded telescopic handlers, which were preferred with farmers and building and construction business. A popular tourist attraction is the Archway Theatre, found under the arches of the Victoria Road railway bridge; the theatre consists of a bar, an auditorium with a seat capacity of 95, and a studio theatre seating 40 people.
