Growth area in North Surrey refurbished (7)

I believe the answer is:
nursery
'growth area' is the definition.
'nursery' can be an answer for 'area' (nursery is a kind of area). I am not certain of the 'growth' bit.
'north surrey refurbished' is the wordplay.
'north' becomes 'N' (abbreviation).
'refurbished' indicates anagramming the letters.
'surrey' anagrammed gives 'ursery'.
'n'+'ursery'='NURSERY'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nursery that I've seen before include "where small fry are found" , "sort of rhyme" , "School for young children" , "Preschool for small children" , "Where young plants grow up?" .)
