27 Meadow Road KT10 0RZ — 2018/3239 — PROPOSAL: A pair of semi-detached two-storey houses with integral garages and new access following demolition of existing house. — COUNCIL RESPONSE: Plans were amended 9m after CPC reviewed primarily for roof height. EBC assessed:
The separation distance of at least 23m is more than sufficient to ensure that the proposal would not result in a material overbearing impact or loss of outlook to neighbouring properties closest to rear facing windows
the submitted daylight and sunlight report demonstrates that there would not be a material loss of light or overshadowing to the neighbouring properties.
the latest SCC guidance on electric vehicle charging advises that a fast charge point be included. As such it is considered appropriate for a condition to be included requiring an electric vehicle fast charge point be provided as part of the proposed development.
policy DM6 of the Development Management Plan 2015 states that development proposals should be designed to include a scheme that ‘adequately protects existing trees including their root systems prior to, during and after the construction process’. The applicant has provided an Arboricultural Report and accompanying existing and proposed tree survey and tree protection plans detailing the trees and hedges to retained and removed respectively and the measures utilised to protect the existing trees to be retained on and adjoining the site. The loss of the category B tree is considered to be regrettable and to the detriment of the site and the area. As such it is considered appropriate to ensure that the site has a suitable degree of planting and landscaping to include a condition requiring the submission of a planting and landscaping plan prior to occupation of the development
Loss of a private view is not a material planning consideration. (PARISH COUNCIL PLANNING MEETING 3-DEC-20)
Parish Council activity
September 2020
AP38 Clerk to ask Paul’s Garden Service to check for Oak Processionary Moths on The Green and the green in Meadow Road. DONE. (PARISH COUNCIL MEETING 17-SEP-20)
June 2024
To discuss the Trees in Meadow Road
The island in Meadow Road has village green status and is not owned by Elmbridge Borough Council. A resident had contacted the Clerk regarding two trees on the island which have died. Cllr Bray has since had contact with the resident regarding this matter and it has been agreed that we ask the resident for two quotes for felling the trees. We have a spending limit for this and so will wait for quotes. It was noted by Cllr Holt that we should maybe look to replace the two trees and Cllr Bray will ask if this is appropriate in the circumstances. ACTION – Cllr Bray

Historical Notes
During the 1920s and 1930s much infilling along existing roads took place, together with the development of new roads and housing estates such as Meadow Road, Torrington Road, Dalmore Avenue, Cornwall Avenue and Hillview Road. Building came to a stop during the Second World War, and did not get underway again until the 1950s when the Slough Farm council estate between Telegraph Lane and Oaken Lane was built, as also were the much smaller estates of Rosehill and Fairlawn Close which took their names from the old houses they replaced.
