NOTE FOR MEMBERS
Contact officers are shown at the end of each report and members are welcome to raise questions, make observations etc. in advance of the meeting with the appropriate officer.
AGENDA
1.
INFORMAL PUBLIC QUESTION TIME
The Chairman to receive any questions from members of the public.
2.
MINUTES
To confirm the Minutes of the Meeting held on 14th November (to be laid on the table half an hour before the meeting).
3.
APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE AND SUBSTITUTIONS
To receive apologies for absence and to report any substitutions.
4.
DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
To receive from Members declarations of personal and prejudicial interests in relation to any items included on the agenda for this meeting in accordance with the Waverley Code of Local Government Conduct.
5.
QUESTIONS BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
The Chairman to respond to the following question received from Guildford and Godalming Friends of the Earth, Milford, of which notice has been duly given in accordance with Procedure Rule 10:-
“There appears to have been some suggestion that all demand for the materials from Eashing will be destined to be used north of Godalming. This suggestion is being relied upon by the proposed operator in relation to access and highways issues. The suggestion seems to be that all HGVs will approach the site via the A3 from the north and leave to join the northbound carriageway of the A3 at Hurtmore.
Does Waverley Borough Council agree with Guildford and Godalming Friends of the Earth that any planning authority deciding on the merits of the development of a quarry at Eashing would not be able to impose any planning condition which controlled the location of customers buying materials excavated at Eashing (if the operator decided to enter into a contract with a customer to the west, east or south of the site it would be perfectly open to the operator to do that), and, does Waverley Borough Council think that any planning condition that sought to restrict the operators markets to a certain location would be anticompetitive and invalid?”
6.

[Wards Affected: All]
The report at

NB. Members of the Leisure SIG who have already had a copy of the report are requested to retain their copy and bring it with them to the meeting.

It is recommended that the Committee considers the attached draft Sport and Leisure Facility Strategy and the recommendations contained within it, and makes any observations to the Executive.
8.
