Flooding
| 5 | To discuss the EA Flood Action Campaign. |
| The Clerk circulated the EA Flood action plan to Committee members ahead of the meeting. The prime focus of the EA Flood Action plan is to raise awareness of flooding with the general public. EBC had actioned a full strategic review of the flood situation in Claygate in 2019. In this review Claygate was classed as low risk for flooding from rivers. The River Rythe had creating some fluvial flooding on Hare Lane and Raleigh Drive historically. The EBC review noted that there is a high risk of surface water flooding in Claygate. SCC have identified the following locations as susceptible to surface water flooding: Oaken Lane, Gordon Road, The Avenue, The Parade, Foley Road, Church Road, Coverts Road, and Littleworth Road. It was noted that SCC had been actively clearing gullies in a number of problem roads over the winter period. In particular, the work that SCC had done in widening the gullies on Church Road by the bus stop, appeared to have been a success. SCC will still need to clear out the gullies each year due to leaves but once cleared the gullies should function correctly and Church Road
should remain flood free. Finally, it was noted that Claygate Centre on Elm Road was an Emergency Rest Centre in the event of a flooding incident. The CPC urged Claygate residents to move their cars on days that SCC are cleaning gullies to ensure SCC has the best chance in preventing surface water flooding. They asked that Raleigh Drive residents contact Thames Water in the event of flooding in that area as it was often relating to the pumping station by Hare Lane Green. CPC would continue to push that new developments in the area, such as Claygate House, are taking a proactive responsibility to protect the River Rythe area from future flooding and that they are doing their bit to maintain the river. The Committee agreed that EBC Strategic Flood review had identified the areas of concern and that CPC will continue to monitor the situation. The Clerk then updated the committee on the flooding under the railway bridge on the Bridleway South of the A3. Savills had informed her that they had Freeflow on site for three days pumping water from the underpass to try and clear the drain, however they were fighting a losing battle as the water was coming off the fields and into the underpass faster than we could pump it out. They’ve spoken to Surrey County Council and H&S signage has gone up for the time being to advise of deep water and blocked access. They will then need to revisit this in April/May once the winter rains have passed to pump the water away and then either clear the existing drain or look at alternative options of providing an outlet for the surface water run-off. Savills want CPC to be assured that it is something they are taking seriously and they are looking to find a long-term solution to. (PARISH COUNCIL HT&E MEETING 11-FEB-21) |

№ 11
- 11 Coverts Road, KT10 0JY — 2020/3018 — PROPOSAL: Part two/part single-storey rear extension, front bay window, porch canopy, first-floor side dormer, roof extension and alterations to fenestration. — COUNCIL RESPONSE: No objection and no comment
- 11 Coverts Road KT10 0JY — 2020/2157 — PROPOSAL: Part two/part single-storey rear extension, single-storey front bay, new porch canopy, first-floor side dormer, roof extension incorporating rear dormer windows and additional fenestration on side elevations. — COUNCIL RESPONSE: Refused by EBC.
- While the rear extension would be largely not visible from the street scene, the side dormer would be visible. The first-floor side dormer is proposed to be set back from the flank wall of the existing house so that it would follow the guidance of the Home Extension Companion Guide and retain a 1m separation to the boundary as well as being set back from the principal elevation so as to appear subservient. However, the Home Extension Guide also advises that dormers should not dominate the roof slope and that normally the side wall of the house should not be extended up into a dormer. This design is considered to dominate this portion of the roof slope and the scale would be out of keeping with the host dwelling and the character of the area. EBC assessed that
- “The proposed first-floor side dormer would, by reason of its design, height, scale and bulk, result in the creation of an incongruous form of development, which would cause harm to the host dwelling, the character of the area and the streetscene” (contrary to policy DM2, CS17 and advice provided by the Design and Character SPD (Home Extensions Companion Guide) 2012 and the NPPF 2019.
- “The proposed first-floor side dormer would, by reason of its height and width, have an unneighbourly and overbearing impact which would be harmful to the amenities of No. 13 Coverts Road (contrary to policy DM2 and advice provided by Design and Character SPD (Home Extensions Companion Guide) 2012.
