Petitions
Notice of Petition
Received from Dianne Doney, 200 signatures
We the undersigned request that Surrey County Council officers who are consulted by Borough Council Planning Officers regarding current planning applications, conduct a proper analysis of the circumstances relating to that planning application, in order to give a full and informed response. A review of the information supplied by developers or their agents should not be the sole means of assessing the issues prior to making comments or advising that the officer has no objections. The investigations should include a site visit at the most sensible times (e.g. during peak travel periods for traffic related issues), and Officers should request further time to conduct surveys or source further information where required. Due regard should also be given to relevant issues raised in representations from local members of the public.
A response will be tabled at the meeting
Notice of Petition
Received from Clayton Wellman, 1580 signatures
We call upon Surrey County Council and its District Councils to reconsider the proposals to charge for DIY ‘non-household waste’ from private individuals homes and/or reduce opening hours at Surrey Community Recycling Centres (CRCs). We ask that neither of these proposals is implemented. We ask that CRC opening hours remain the same and the current policy of no charges for ‘non-household waste’ remain in place. We do not believe the current consultation on these matters is adequate since it only offers these 2 unacceptable options and is therefore not a genuine consultation. The consultation will provide no valid conclusion and is set up only to give the answer desired. We believe that implementing a charge scheme and/or a reduction in opening hours will lead to an increase in fly tipping and other waste management issues which will cost the County and District Councils a substantial amount, making the savings gained by the proposals a false economy. Not only that but the potential increase in fly tipping will adversely affect many other organisations such as the National Trust which already spends £20k per annum clearing up fly tipping on its land.
A response will be tabled at the meeting
