Appendix 2: Notes from Liaison meeting with EBC 3rd February 2025

Claygate Parish Council & Elmbridge Borough Council Liaison Meeting

Monday 3 February 2025 – 10am

Committee Room 1, EBC Offices

ACTION NOTES:

1. Devolution and EBC Plans

Following the Leader’s Community Engagement Event held in Claygate on Thursday 20 January where this item was discussed, there were no further updates.

2. Local Plan

Cllr Mike Rollings (MR) updated on the latest position regarding the draft Elmbridge Borough Council Local Plan, following receipt of the Planning Inspector’s Initial Findings Letter (September 2024) and Final Letter (October 2024) and, in light of the Local Government Re-organisation. And the key points were:

• Report to be brought to Cabinet at its meeting of 5 February ahead of Council on 26 February with an officer recommendation to withdraw the current local plan.
• Report to be brought to Cabinet at its meeting on 5 February setting out a timetable for the preparation of a new Local Plan. This would be adopted and submitted to Government as required by 6 March 2025, providing that Council agrees to withdraw the Local Plan. Some of the Council’s projects may need to be paused if their timetable runs beyond Spring 2027/28. Work programmes are currently being reviewed.
• Resources would be concentrated on Place Making projects: viability and social housing

Cllr Donna Holt (DH) enquired as to whether Claygate could be informed on land availability following the call for sites.

Suzanne Parkes (SP) confirmed that this was still progressing and that further details on this would be published later in the year but said that she would check if that could be updated for Claygate Parish Council. She did say that more urban sites had been proposed, as opposed to just grey belt/green belt.

3. Local Street Improvement Plan & EBC involvement with the SCC Initiative

There was a general discussion around proposed speeding restrictions of 20-mph to be placed in Claygate. CPC circulated a document produced by SCC which stated that a 20-mph zone across the whole village was likely to be wanted. Claygate Parish Councillors confirmed that the feedback they were receiving from residents was that this was not wanted.

SP said that SCC, as part of their Local Street Improvements (LSI) project, had divided the entire borough into areas where they would be designing and carrying out work to improve local streets and the public realm. As part of the ‘package’ of improvements, 20 mph was one intervention, but others were also available.
