    No report.

  5. NORTH PARADE
    No Report.

  6. ANY OTHER BUSINESS
    1. The planning applications for Chessington World of Adventures were not discussed at the last neighbourhood committee due to the threat of an application for Judicial review in respect of the lack of an impact study. Contrary to earlier indications, the "flying island" would be 69m above ground level (that is twice the height of Nelson's Column). We will write to the Council to support a full environmental impact study and to CWA to suggest that we were not fully informed.
    2. New planning applications:
      • Rear of 80-92 Leatherhead Road, adjacent Catholic Church - proposal to demolish garages and erect 6 storey, three bedroom houses. We will object on the grounds of access, backland development, drainage and egress onto A243.

      • Oakfield Farm, Rushett Lane - Erection of 10 stables.
      • 6 North Parade - Application to retain external shutters.

      • Apple Grove - Applications to fell plane and horse chestnut trees, Jim to investigate.
      • Green Lane, land to the rear of Pigamas and Venetta. Erection of 5-bedroom house. We will object on the grounds of development in the Green Belt.
