Decision details

The Committee:

(i)    AUTHORISED the funding of additional speed surveys on Hazelwood Lane to better inform the feasibility of reducing the speed limit on Hazelwood Lane using signs alone from 30mph to 20mph.

(ii)   If the measured mean speeds on Hazelwood Lane, recorded by the additional surveys in recommendation (i) above, comply with Surrey’s policy to reduce the speed limit using signs alone, AUTHORISED that the proposal to reduce the speed limit on Doghurst Lane and Hazelwood Lane from 30mph to 20mph by signs alone be added to the Integrated Transport Schemes (ITS) list for possible future funding.

(iii)  Should funding be provided either by the Residents Association to promote this scheme or the scheme is prioritised over other schemes on the ITS list, and if recommendation (ii) above applies, AUTHORISED the Area Highways Team to carry out consultation on the proposed speed limit reduction with the residents of both Doghurst Lane and Hazelwood Lane, and the roads accessed from these roads.

REASONS:

To advise the Local Committee of the work being carried out following the speed surveys arranged by the consultant acting on behalf of Chipstead Residents Association, and to enable further speed surveys to be carried out on Hazelwood Lane to progress the scheme.
