RESOLVED:

1.    That Cabinet agree the implementation of the Surrey Infrastructure Plan Phase 5 projects identified in this 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 the implementation of the Surrey Flood Alleviation Programme 2024/25 to 2025/26 as identified in this report and set out in Appendix 4a, within the approved budget envelope, subject to the final business case for each scheme being approved by the Capital Programme Panel.

3.    That Cabinet agree the implementation of the Smallfield and Reigate Flood Alleviation scheme as identified in this report and set out in Appendix 4b, within the approved budget envelope, subject to the final business case for each scheme being approved by the Capital Programme Panel.

4.    That Cabinet agree to delegate the development and delivery of the schemes to the Executive Director for Environment, Infrastructure & Growth, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Property, Waste and Infrastructure.

Reasons for Decisions:

The recommendations will enable the continued development and delivery of infrastructure schemes that meet a wide range of outcomes and demonstrate deliverability and affordability. They enable the implementation of the fifth phase of SIP schemes and the development of a continuous pipeline of projects 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)
