This report proposes changing the policy introduced in September 2014 for the adoption of roads and streets as highways maintainable at public expense. It recommends that revised criteria for those roads that are adopted be introduced from 1 August 2015. The revised criteria allows only the adoption of roads that serve the equivalent of six or more residential curtilages or that are of a wider public utility. This takes account of the fact that Surrey County Council (SCC) will not now be the Sustainable Drainage Approval Body (SAB) as was envisaged at the time of the September 2014 decision.

That the minor change to the policy of adoption of roads as highways maintainable at public expense as set out in Part B of Annex 1 of the submitted report, be authorised.
