Decision details

The Local Committee (Tandridge) agreed that

(i)    The scheme proposals as presented within Appendix A should proceed to detailed design and implementation incorporating some minor changes resulting from the public consultation described in section 2.

(ii)   Proceeding with the scheme will be subject to the successful conclusion of the lease of part of a Burstow School playing field to the parish council to create an off-street parking facility upon which the highway scheme will depend. 

(iii)  Authorise the advertisement of the relevant notices in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which will be to implement the proposed traffic restrictions, traffic calming and formal crossings, and subject to no objections being upheld, that the orders be made.

(iv)  Authorise delegation of authority to the Highway Engagement & Commissioning Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman of the Local Committee and the relevant local divisional member to resolve any objections received in connection with the proposals

REASON FOR DECISION:

The proposed highway measures would help to reduce risk of collisions and improve the highway infrastructure to encourage more walking, cycling and push scooting to school and to the shops and services in the centre of Smallfield. The proposals would also help reduce congestion and driver frustration on Wheelers Lane and Redehall Road in the centre of Smallfield.
