Planning and Regulatory Committee - Wednesday, 27 November 2024 10.30 am

At this meeting of the Planning and Regulatory Committee, the Committee considered two planning applications for schools: the first for a new AP school on the site of a former care home, and the second for the extension of an infant school. The committee also considered an application to register some land as a Town & Village Green and a referral of a public footpath. The committee accepted the withdrawal of the application for village green status. The committee agreed to take a neutral stance in regard to the public footpath. The applications for the two schools were discussed at length, with arguments being made both for and against them. Ultimately, the committee agreed to permit the application for the infant school, but decided to refer the application for the AP school back to Surrey County Council for reconsideration.
