    Notice of Petition – received from Diane Doney

     

    It states: 'Surrey is under constant bombardment from Developers, all keen to seek the best financial return on their developments by building in the areas with the biggest cash return.

    Each borough has an agreed allocation of new housing that requires to be completed by 2028, which has been subdivided by the borough council into parishes/villages/towns.

    Developers are filing planning applications which are far in excess of those published, adopted allocations (sometimes demanding release of the green belt), and which are unsustainable, due to poor infrastructure. The developer contributions will not fund all the required roads and services, so the tax payer will have to pay or go without. These developments will put immense strain on local roads, services and jobs.

    We understand the concept of providing affordable and local homes for local people, which can be provided by minimal infill development.

     

    We call upon Surrey County Council and local MPs to lobby parliament to call a halt to this madness.'

     

    A response will be tabled at the meeting.

    Decision:

    That the response, attached as Appendix 1, be approved.
