Leader's Announcements

Minutes:

The Leader informed the Council that Surrey Leaders had discussed the following matters at its recent meeting:

 

·       Local Plans – a number of Surrey authorities’ Plans had recently been under examination; common factors were emerging in relation to an increase to the number of houses per annum councils were expected to provide and the release Green Belt land. This Council would need to be aware of these factors throughout the progression of its own Local Plan.

 

·       Surrey Homes and Property Enterprise (SHAPE) – a workshop had been held to evaluate the next steps of this initiative. Funding from One Public Estate had been received, some of which had been allocated to the Land East of Knoll Road project for a further viability study.

 

·       Surrey County Council’s budgetary position and the anticipated effect on the funding provided to the boroughs and districts for provision of services.

 

The Council was updated on the interim injunction obtained concerning the land at the junction of Woodhall Lane and the A30, Windlesham.

 

The Leader informed the Council of the events planned in Camberley Town Centre and the surrounding area for the run up to Christmas and encouraged Members to publicise and attend these events.
