=== Albury Place ===
:'''Amended Planning Application 2020/1037 - Shalford, 2 Albury Place, Hare Lane KT10 0RB – Retrospective rear detached outbuilding with decking.''' Mr Mossett, neighbour to 2 Albury Place, spoke stating the outbuilding was originally built in 2019. In October 2019 it began being used as a separate dwelling referring Cllrs to his sleep log and photos. It was raised as an alleged unauthorised development to EBC. EBC visited the site but Mr Mossett believes that they failed to enter the site or question future usage. Mr Mossett is concerned that the retrospective application does not cover the use or mention several key points such as the boundary line of the building. Mr Mossett confirmed he had not objected to the amended planning application as he didn’t feel that the actual application reflected what had been built so he couldn’t as such comment on it. Instead he had emailed the Head of Planning at EBC, Kim Tagliarini raising concerns that the addition of the outbuilding to Planning application 2020/1037 had failed to include information needed for consultees to make an informed decision. He stated the pictures he had provided were solely to provide context for committee members.  {{CPC-mtg-ref|PARISH COUNCIL planning meeting 16-JUL-20}}

Committee members were to send GH alternative suggestions ahead of this planning meeting of where the Old Bank bench could be permanently positioned. GH confirmed he had only received one suggestion. Clerk had received an update since the last meeting from Martin Kearton, Environmental Officer at EBC, stating that Cllrs had in fact already instructed EBC to reinstate the seat and bin in their original positions once the work was completed back in August 2018.

==== Flooding ====
{{CPC-minute|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 Rythe|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 [[Littleworth Road|Claygate House]], are taking a proactive responsibility to protect [[The Rythe|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. {{CPC-mtg-ref|PARISH COUNCIL HT&E meeting 11-FEB-21}}
