Surrey Highways will assess your application and advise whether Approval in Principle is granted to install your asset on the highway.
August 2024
| To review and Approve the draft applications to SCC for a new bench on the Parade. | |
| A discussion was held on where the bench would be placed and also what the costs would be to place it. Cllr Holt to come back to the council with appropriate recommendations on where to site the bench. Clerk to ask EBC for contact details of three approved Highway Contractors. Application will be submitted in due course once the materials are ready to be submitted to SCC suggesting where the bench will be sited and who will carry out the installation. It is quite possible given the concerns of adding more street furniture that the bench could replace an existing low bench. ACTIONS: Clerk to contact EBC and Cllr Holt to provide suggestions on the siting of the bench at a future EHTC Meeting. A further discussion was held regarding what wording would be used for a plaque on the bench. This is to be moved to the next EHTC meeting for decision.
