    The deadline for Member’s questions is 12pm four working days before the meeting (25 May 2022).

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    There were two member questions. The questions and responses were published as a supplement to the agenda.

     

    Catherine Baart asked a supplementary question in relation to her original questions. The first was why there was a delay to the consultation for the two junctions in her division which would be commencing in 2024 and the second was if the indicative concept completion date for the Local Cycling and Walking Plans (LCWIP) was the same as the publication dates. The Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Economy explained that there was no delay with the consultation phase. The project had a number of stages which required completion and would take some time, some land assembly issues would require Secretary of State sign off. The Reigate and Banstead LCWIP had been completed and was now moving to the implementation phase. Government funding had been received for some of the schemes already.

    The deadline for public questions is seven days before the meeting (24 May 2022).

     

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    There was one public question. The question and response was published as a supplement to the agenda. The following supplementary question was asked, do you agree that the Surrey Minerals Plan 2011 is a local development document and, if so, could you please state when, since 2011,  the Plan was reviewed under The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, which require a review to be completed every five years, and explain why a review is not therefore being completed immediately and urgently, as a statutory requirement, and to take account of the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis. The Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Economy explained that a refresh was done on the Surrey Mineral Plan a few years ago. The Surrey Minerals and Waste Plan was a new document bringing together both parts of the policies the county council was responsible for and would help tackle climate change. Flexibility was required in plan creation as this was a wide ranging document that required consultation with various stakeholders.

The Surrey Transport Plan (Fourth Edition) - Adoption pdf icon PDF 367 KB

    • Share this item

    The purpose of this report is to inform Cabinet on the outcomes of the statutory public consultation process and subsequent additional engagement to support the new Surrey Transport Plan, to be referred to as the fourth Local Transport Plan (LTP4). To seek approval to adopt and publish the plan, and to retain the Member Reference Group to steer further development of the Plan and refine policies to help deliver the plan. The final decision on the Local Transport Plan 4 is to be made by Council in accordance with the authority’s legislation.

     

    (The decisions on this item can be called-in by the Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee)

     

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    RESOLVED:

     

    1.    That Cabinet notes the efforts that have gone into extending the engagement with communities and partners over the new Surrey Transport Plan including analysis and feedback received from the statutory public consultation and subsequent additional targeted engagement.?

    1. That Cabinet notes how delivering the Surrey Transport Plan associated policies, strategies and measures will support the Climate Change Delivery Plan.?
    2. That Cabinet notes the capital investment required to deliver the plan as set out in the 2022/23 budget and beyond in line with the Medium-Term Financial Plan.?
    3. That Cabinet recommends the approval of the Surrey Transport Plan, to County Council on 12 July 2022 including launch of new related Surrey website pages on the 13 July 2022. ?
    4. That Cabinet recommends to Council that authority be delegated to the Executive Director, for Environment, Transport & Infrastructure, in discussion with the Cabinet Member for Transport & Infrastructure for any final changes that may be necessary to allow publication of the plan on 13 July 2022 and any key changes thereafter to comply with new government policy.
    5. That Cabinet thanks the Members of the Greener Futures Reference Group for their work in developing the Plan thus far.?

     

    Reasons for Decisions:

    The recommendations will enable the new Surrey Transport Plan (LTP4) to be adopted thereby enabling new policies and measures to develop and deliver safe, cleaner, greener ways of travelling and accessing services and opportunities in the future. This will help to deliver significant reduction in carbon emissions from the transport sector to deliver net zero carbon by 2050, as set out in the Climate Change Strategy agreed by Cabinet in May 2020, and the Climate Change Delivery Programme agreed by Cabinet in October 2021.

    The Plan provides a step change in how transport services and its infrastructure are planned, delivered, maintained, and used. This will need the Council, partner organisations, businesses, and all of Surrey’s residents to work together to make changes in when, where, and how they choose to travel, including the adoption of digital opportunities.

    The plan sets out a framework to develop these new policies, strategies, and measures to establish and embed active and sustainable travel behaviours and promote the uptake of technology such as electric and hydrogen powered vehicles, to meet the challenge of achieving the county’s target of net zero carbon by 2050. The plan also supports the importance of ensuring that our transport policies and networks enable a prosperous economy and healthier, better, connected communities, ensuring that no one is left behind.

    Minutes:

    The Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Economy introduced the report explaining that the purpose of the item was to inform Cabinet on the outcomes of the statutory public consultation process and subsequent additional engagement to support the new Surrey Transport Plan, to be referred to as the fourth Local Transport Plan (LTP4). Cabinet was being asked to adopt and publish the plan as well as retain the Member Reference Group to steer further development and refine policies that will help deliver the plan itself. The final decision on LTP4 would be made by Council later on in the year. The Transport Plan sets out the Council’s transformational and ambitious roadmap to deliver the required carbon reduction targets set out in the Climate Change Delivery Plan, for the transport sector, whilst supporting the county’s communities and economy to thrive and ensure no one is left behind.

     

    Jonathan Essex spoke on the item stating that it was positive to see that there was now over 80% support evidenced for the proposed approach set out and asked what the current level of investment is for extending the frequency and the reliability for the number of buses across Surrey. The Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Economy stated that £49m had been invested into low emission buses of electric and hydrogen and as part of this, a third of the most polluting buses off the network would be removed. At a previous Cabinet the purchase of 32 new hydrogen buses which would run in the east of the county had been agreed. £9 million had been set aside in delivering pinch point relief and in Mole Valley the Surrey Connect service, which is electric minibuses which work in an Uber style had been launched to reduce car journeys.

     

    Catherine Baart spoke on the positivity of the plan but argued that the plan could not be fully implemented without central government changing policy which would therefore require government lobbying. She queried what the council would be doing to include members and recruit residents to the lobbying campaign. The Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Economy explained that one of the risks identified had been any planning policies that were introduced by the government, which were not consistent with net zero targets and that did not make it cheaper for low carbon transport focus units. This had not been proposed but was identified as a potential risk. If this was proposed by the government, the council would need to have a strong lobbying campaign to counter this.

     

    The Leader added that it was important for the council to invest in other forms of public transport and agreed that the Mole Valley pilot was an excellent solution. £10m of subsidies had already been put into the bus service and work with operators needed to be undertaken to find ways in which routes could be made more commercial and then the subsidy used more effectively.

Minerals and Waste Development Scheme pdf icon PDF 337 KB

    • Share this item

    The purpose of this report is to seek agreement of Cabinet to an extension to the timetable in which the Minerals and Waste Local Plan (MWLP) is to be prepared. The extension proposed will necessarily involve material amendments to the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme (MWDS) previously approved in July 2021.

     

    (The decisions on this item can be called-in by the Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee)

     

     

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    RESOLVED:

     

    1. That Cabinet approves the amended Minerals and Waste Development Scheme dated May 2022 which includes an extended timetable for the preparation of the Minerals and Waste Local Plan, as set out in Annex 1.

     

    1. That Cabinet delegates authority to the Executive Director of Environment, Transport & Infrastructure in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport & Infrastructure to make any further revisions to the scheme or timetable.

     

    Reasons for Decisions:

     

    Surrey County Council, as the County Planning Authority, is required by law to prepare and maintain an up-to-date Minerals and Waste Development Scheme. Officers propose to update the Minerals and Waste Development Scheme to extend the timetable in which the Minerals and Waste Local Plan is to be prepared. This extension of time is necessary to accommodate the complexity and range of technical work necessary to prepare a sound local development plan; extensive and meaningful engagement with stakeholders; and anticipated changes to Government policy, guidance, legislation, and regulations and the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty boundary during the plan-preparation period.

    (The decisions on this item can be called-in by the Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee)

     

     

     

    Minutes:

    The Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Economy introduced the report explaining that the report sought agreement of an extension to the timetable in which the Minerals and Waste local plan be prepared. The extension would involve material amendments to the Mineral and Waste Development Scheme, previously approved in July 2021. This would result in the delay of the adoption of the Mineral and Waste Plan by no more than 12 months.

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    1. That Cabinet approves the amended Minerals and Waste Development Scheme dated May 2022 which includes an extended timetable for the preparation of the Minerals and Waste Local Plan, as set out in Annex 1.

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    RESOLVED:

     

    1. That Cabinet agree the implementation of the Phase 2 projects identified in the report and set out in Appendix 1, within the approved budget envelope, subject to the final business case for each scheme being approved by the Capital Programme Panel.

    Reasons for Decisions:

     

    The recommendations will enable the development and delivery of infrastructure schemes that meet a wide range of outcomes and demonstrate deliverability and affordability.  They enable the implementation of the second phase of schemes and the development of a continuous pipeline of schemes that require further feasibility work. The process is intended to remain dynamic with new schemes added to the long list as they are identified.  A continuous programme of schemes will be developed taking them from concept through to delivery identifying suitable funding opportunities as they progress.

    (The decisions on this item can be called-in by the Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee)

     

     

    Minutes:

    The Cabinet Member for Transport, Infrastructure and Economy explained that the report recommends the approval of a second phase of schemes to be

    implemented, highlights additional schemes requiring further development and

    provides a brief update on the status in the first phase which were approved by

    Cabinet in October 2021. Following October 2021, the partners involved in the development of the Surrey Place Ambition 2050 were consulted and the assessment of the projects shared. This included all 11 Districts and Boroughs (D&Bs), both Local Economic Partnerships and the Surrey Wildlife Trust. Other parties including Network

    Rail, Homes England and National Highways were informed along with

    neighbouring authorities where there were schemes crossing the boundary. Engagement with partners led to the conclusion that this should be an ongoing, dynamic process. Through the development of the Surrey Infrastructure Plan over 100 infrastructure schemes had been identified by the council and partners, with the majority in that transports and highways category. The Cabinet Member briefed members on each of the schemes contained in the Phase 2 projects.

     

    The Deputy Cabinet Member for Levelling- Up welcomed the report and in particular the Tadworth Flood Reduction Programme which would positively impact the lives of many residents in the local area. Members welcomed the schemes and the change it would bring for residents. A number of the schemes would tackle long term infrastructure issues.

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    1. That Cabinet agree the implementation of the Phase 2 projects identified in the report and set out in Appendix 1, within the approved budget envelope, subject to the final business case for each scheme being approved by the Capital Programme Panel.
    2. That Cabinet agree to delegate the development and delivery of the schemes to the  Executive Director of Environment, Transport & Infrastructure, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport and Infrastructure.

    (The decisions on this item can be called-in by the Resources and Performance Select Committee)

     

     

    Minutes:

    The report was introduced by the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources who explained that this report set out Surrey County Council’s 2021/22 financial performance for revenue and capital, including the year end Treasury Management and debt outturn position. The Council had achieved a £1.0m surplus outturn for the year without the need to rely on reserves, despite the extraordinary impact of Covid-19. This was despite the impact of COVID-19, which had a financial cost of the Council of £99.4m which was funded by a combination of

    specific funding (£75.7m) and general emergency funding from the Department of

    Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) (£23.7m). This was a good financial outcome for the Council and the result of hard work from within directorates to deliver their services within budget and a culture of financial management and control set throughout the Council. The Deputy Leader provided the Cabinet with some context for the 2022/23 budget explaining there would be some challenges on the horizon.

     

    The Cabinet Member for Adults and Health welcomed the £3m supplemental Substance Misuse Treatment and Recovery grant to support improvements in the quality and capacity of drug and alcohol treatment for the years 2022/23 to 2024/25 which would be allocated to the Public Health service. Will Forster raised concerns around the transformation programme and the efficiency targets achieved which were only 54% of the target. He asked for reassurance from the Cabinet Member that future efficiencies could be achieved. The Deputy Leader stated that covid had thrown up a number of challenges in delivering efficiencies but felt confident that targets could be achieved for the current financial year. The Leader added that the transformation programmes had been reviewed with a number removed to ensure the council was concentrating on the most important and would be picking up pace going forward.

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    1.      That Cabinet note the Council’s revenue and capital positions for the year.

    2.      That Cabinet approve the following transfers to reserves planned as part of the revenue budget and included in the outturn position:

    ·         £2.6m unspent transformation funding to be transferred to the Transformation Reserve to fund future transformation ambitions and mitigate risks associated with delivering transformation in future years.
