Content

Decision:

1.      
That
the Executive recommends to full Council (meeting on 29 July 2025) that it RESOLVE
to:

              
i.           
Approve
the transfer swap of land between Surrey County Council (SCC) and
the Council for the provision of a new SCC Waste Transfer Facility,
at £1m less than best consideration. The transfer will take
place once SCC’s governance approvals are also in place;
and

            
ii.           
 Once all legal agreements have been finalised with
SCC, to amend the capital budget for the WUV scheme to reflect
removal of the £1m contingency held for redesign and planning
changes that would be required if the land swap did not go
ahead.
Reason(s):
The recommendation supports the Council’s ongoing
commitment to deliver the Weyside Urban Village programme, in
accordance with the masterplan for the development, delivering a
substantial number of new homes and employment space.
Other options considered and rejected by the
Executive:
None.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by the Leader or
lead councillors and any dispensation granted:
None.
