The Senior Countryside Access Officer presented a report which outlined that the County Council has a duty under Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to modify the Definitive Map and Statement if it discovers evidence which can be reasonably alleged to support a modification.

An application has been received for a Map Modification Order to add a public footpath on land between Pyrford Common and Upshot Lane, Pyrford to the Surrey County Council Definitive Map.

The Joint Committee (Woking)agreedthat:

i)    Public Footpath rights be recognised over the route shown on drawing no. 3/1/79/H66 as Alleged Public Footpath no. 422, Woking between points A – B – C – D – E and that a MMO under sections 53 and 57 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 be made to modify the Definitive Map and Statement for Surrey.

      ii)   In the event of the County Council being directed to make a MMO by the Secretary of State following an appeal by the claimant, the County Council as surveying authority will adopt a neutral stance at any Public Inquiry or Hearing, making all the evidence available to help the inspector determine the case.

Reasons For Recommendations:

The County Council hasa dutyunder Section53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to modifytheDefinitiveMap and Statementifitdiscoversevidence which on balance supportsa modification.

In this instance the evidence submitted in support of the application was considered sufficient to establish that public footpath rights are reasonably alleged to subsist over the claimed route, having been acquired by virtue of use by the public on foot under statutory deemed dedication (under s.31(1)) of the Highways Act 1980).

Evidence suggests that landowners have not sufficiently challenged users or taken sufficient actions to demonstrate their lack of intention to dedicate during the relevant period.

 The Education service is currently supported by a collection of systems with Capita One as the largest with 16 different modules in use. In addition there are systems from Servelec Synergy, Open Objects, Welfare Call and one that has been developed in house.  These systems do not integrate or share information and are not highly regarded by users. The vision is to have a single view of a child’s record.

2.    That where the first ranked tender for any projects listed in Annex 1 of the submitted Part 2 report is within the +/-5% budgetary tolerance level was agreed, the relevant Executive Director, Director or Head of Service (as appropriate) be authorised to award such contracts.

3.    That authority be delegated to the relevant Executive Director, Director or Head of Service (as appropriate) to make contract award decisions for the projects which started prior to 24 September 2019 and are listed in Annex 2 of the submitted Part 2 report – “Projects over £500k that started prior to 24 September 2019”, and

4.    That the procurement activity highlighted in Annex 1 of the submitted Part 2 report that will be come to Cabinet for review of the commissioning and procurement strategy prior to going out to market be agreed.

To ensure Cabinet oversight is focussed on the most significant procurements.

This report will outline the work undertaken by the Council and around the county to plan and prepare for Britain’s exit of the EU on 31 October. This will include preparations made in line with government advice and guidance, work undertaken with partners and possibilities and implications for the county.

RESOLVED:

That the current position of the council’s preparations, including the plans and preparations that are expected to be implemented by Thursday 31 October 2019 be endorsed (expected date for Britain’s formal withdrawal from the European Union).

Reason for decision:

Brexit carries a number of potential possibilities and implications for the county. Surrey County Council has a responsibility to prepare for all eventualities, particularly those which pose negative implications for residents, communities and organisations. The council’s ongoing work outlines how it will ensure the necessary plans and preparations are in place to mitigate any potential immediate and short term implications and provide support and assurance where possible. This is in line with guidance provided by central government.

To review the profile of need for SEND specialist placements and the context in which this strategy is being developed. Accept the outline SEND capital strategy, including the process and decision criteria that will be used. Approve a number of named projects contained within the paper. Agree the process by which future projects identified as part of this strategy will be brought to Cabinet for approval.

RESOLVED:

1.    That a number of named projects at an estimated capital cost of £3.2m, for delivery from 2019/20, as part of the overall Special Education Needs & Disabilities (SEND) capital programme, be approved. These projects are as identified in Annex 1 to the submitted report, providing 77 bulge and 21 permanent places.

2.    That the development of projects as part of the overall SEND capital programme a number of “named” projects at an estimated capital cost of £28.9m, for delivery from 2019/20 over the next four years be agreed. These projects are as identified in Annex 1 to the submitted report, and will provide 303 permanent places.

3.    That other projects as part of the overall SEND capital programme that do not require any further approval within this paper, including £1.1m capital budget previously approved for the Worplesdon specialist centre be noted. These projects are as identified in Annex 1 to the submitted report, providing 482 permanent places.

4.    That £1m to support the delivery of the immediate identified school place planning and the long term requirements be approved.

Reason for decision:

Approval of the recommendations form a key part and will assist the Council in delivering the school place planning strategy for specialist placements.

Developing and maintaining the right SEND provision is an important part of ensuring a sustainable specialist estate to provide fit for purpose facilities for Surrey children and young people who require a specialist placement and cost effective solutions for high quality provision to support revenue savings within SCC. Grant capital funding of £10M is available from the Department for Education, to progress this capital strategy providing children and young people with increased positive opportunities for improved outcomes whilst attending an appropriate SEND provision.

The recommendations will enable the progression and delivery of the school place planning strategy for specialist placements ten-year plan. Children, Families, Lifelong Learning and Culture (CFLC) are seeking to provide 883 specialist places (including 77 ‘bulge’ places) over the next four years and within the next 10 years deliver a broader plan which will be developed subject to need.

The school place planning strategy for specialist placements will be reviewed annually.

Decision required by Cabinet to approve the “Making Surrey Safer – Our Plan 2020 – 2023” for publication and implementation.

RESOLVED:

That the “Making Surrey Safer – Our Plan 2020-2023”, be approved for publication and implementation.

Reason for decision:

Our Plan puts people at the heart of what we do by focussing on our most vulnerable people and our most risky places. This will reduce the likelihood of emergencies. Our Plan also ensures that when emergencies do happen we respond more efficiently.

Our Plan will meet the national direction from government for the future and local risks, whilst responding to the recommendations for improvement made by Her Majesties Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS). The feedback from the consultation broadly agreed with Our Plan. However, concerns about night time response cover have been expressed and we have responded to these in Section 18 of the submitted report.

To approve the County Council response to the statutory Heathrow airport expansion consultation.

RESOLVED:

That the consultation response submitted to Heathrow Airport Ltd and attached at Annex 1 to the submitted report was agreed.

Reason for decision:

The consultation response considers the potential impact of HAL’s proposed scheme on the Council’s services, residents and businesses. The response is in line with the 9 October 2018 Full Council resolution, which sets out the Council’s position that the environmental and infrastructure issues associated with expansion should be satisfactorily addressed. The comments in the response highlight the considerable concerns that this Council has in relation to the expansion proposals and some comments repeat points made at both a political and officer level during ongoing engagement with HAL on scheme development in bilateral meetings and through the Council’s membership of the Heathrow Strategic Planning Group (HSPG). There are many issues that remain to be addressed and more information must be provided to enable the likely effects to be fully understood.

[The decisions on this item can be called in by the Resources & Performance Select Committee]

Members of the cabinet are asked to consider and note the content of the Annual Report and to agree to its publication.

RESOLVED:

1. That the Surrey Safeguarding Adults Board Annual Report be noted prior to it being published.

2. That the next steps for the publication of the Annual report were agreed.

Reason for Decisions:

These decisions demonstrate that the Council is well placed to fulfil its obligations under the Care Act to have an established Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB) in its area. It will support the SSAB to be transparent by providing information to the public on the performance of the Board in the delivery of its strategic plan.

[The decisions on this item can be called in by the Adults and Health Select Committee]

Cabinet will be asked to approve the programme of work required to deliver the Moving Closer to Residents business case and introduce new ways of working across the council, including the location of the new Civic Heart in the context of the future corporate estate.

RESOLVED:

1.    That a detailed Workforce Strategy be developed by February 2020.

2.    That officers continue to drive and support a new working culture across the council through increasing the number of staff being enabled to work in new and agile ways, including through investment in Information Technology and training.

3.    That demonstration exemplar agile office spaces be created in County Hall and in each of the Council’s office hubs (Quadrant Court in Woking, Consort House in Redhill and Fairmount House in Leatherhead) by January 2020.

4.    That measures be put in place to consolidate staff into a smaller area of County Hall, creating a ‘Civic Heart’ cohort (e.g. those working most closely with democratic and civic functions of the council) over time.

5.    That officers continue to plan the relocation of staff from County Hall, as:

·         Those staff in County Hall forming the Civic Heart cohort will be brought together in County Hall

·         Demonstration/exemplar agile office environments will be set up in County Hall and each Hub by Jan 2020

·         500 more County Hall staff will be equipped to be agile and allocated to new base offices by June 2020

·         Contact Centre and Orbis services staff will be either agile or in new locations by December 2020

·         Civic Heart cohort of staff to be agile/relocated when we have found suitable premises (meaning County Hall is vacant)

·         Discussions will continue with the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames on the potential future of County Hall.

6.    That officers continue the search for a new ‘Civic Heart’ to house the remainder of the staff in suitable, viable and affordable premises.

Reason for decision:

The Community Vision for Surrey in 2030 and the council’s own Organisational Strategy envisage a quite different and much improved relationship and connectivity between residents and the council and new, modern ways of working for the council. The widespread introduction of agile working for most staff, creating the opportunity to vacate County Hall and establish a new Civic Heart in Surrey will act to accelerate such changes and facilitate delivering better services for residents.

[The decisions on this item can be called in by the Resources & Performance Select Committee]

The Cabinet will be asked to;

Approve a capital allocation for a new SEND school in Woking and;

Approve a capital allocation for collocated PRUs (Secondary and Primary) in the West of the County.

RESOLVED:

2.    That the 77 bulge places for September 2019 be approved.

3.    That future projects identified as part of the place planning strategy are, where appropriate, reported to cabinet or cabinet member for approval.

Reason for Decision:

Developing and maintaining the right Surrey specialist provision is vital in ensuring appropriate placements for the Surrey young people who require a specialist Special Education Needs & Disabilities placement.  The proposed place-planning strategy will ensure a significant number of extra specialist places are provided that offer good value for money.  This strategy is needed to make sure that activities in this area are coordinated and that there are a clear set of principles on which work will be based.  This strategy will be reviewed on an annual basis.

[The decisions on this item can be called in by the Children, Families, Lifelong Learning & Culture Select Committee]

Reasons:

1.    The Committee felt that as the LED technology would have such an impact on future running costs that it would be reasonable to readdress the issue once this change over had been completed.
