Issue - meetings

Reigate and Banstead Borough Council and Surrey County Council are working in partnership to deliver major regeneration on the Preston estate, Tadworth. 

As part of the regeneration over 200 new homes are being built on the former De Burgh school site. 

To mitigate the impact of these new homes Section 106 funding has been secured to improve traffic flow along Chetwode Road.

This report outlines the proposals for a comprehensive scheme to improve traffic flow through the provision of new parking arrangements and waiting restrictions; improved access onto and off of buses; better passenger waiting facilities; and to upgrade the condition of parts of the footway/carriageway.

The report follows a consultation exercise that was undertaken this Summer.

The Local Committee noted:

i)    The scheme proposals and the comments received from consultation.

The Local Committee agreed that:

i)    The parking restrictions set out in Table 1 and in annex A of the report (‘no waiting at any time’ double yellow lines) are approved, subject to statutory consultation;

ii)   If there are unresolved objections that they are dealt with in accordance with the county council’s scheme of delegation by the parking team manager, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Local Committee and local divisional member.

iii)  Bus stop clearways are approved for the east and westbound bus stops in Chetwode Road; and

iv) The scheme proposals for Chetwode Road and Homefield Gardens a shown in annex A are approved for implementation;

v)  Any alterations to the scheme to be delegated to the Area Highways Manager in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Local Committee and local divisional Members.

Reason for decisions:

The above decisions were made because the scheme proposals for Chetwode Road will deliver a key Section 106 obligation that forms part of the planning consent for the Be Burgh housing site in order to mitigate the impact of increased vehicular traffic on roads within the Preston estate.

Officers attending: Peter Boarder, Head of Place Delivery, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council
