He had also declared in writing an interest in this matter as the owner of a property in Ninehams Road that could benefit from any work carried out to improve the drainage in Old Lane.

After discussion, it was agreed that (a) for the time being no action would be taken to pursue matters with Tandridge DC (b) a further letter should be written to Stephen Child (SCC) urging that a full drainage assessment should be carried out and that action should be taken to deal with such drainage needs as were established by the assessment, and (c) that the Clerk should write to the Old Lane Residents Committee asking for details of the work that was intended to be carried out to the road and to the ditch and the costs involved.

7. Reports
County Councillor:
Highways: He had recently had a meeting with County Highway officials during which he had secured agreement to consideration being to the re-location of the speed limit signs in Lusted Hall Lane. The excuse given for not dealing with the matter earlier was the cost involved. There was also a possibility that serious consideration would be given to making the whole village subject to a 30 mph limit. He had pointed out that if all the changes were effected at the same time, there would be a cost saving.
Old Lane: He had been told that an assessment of the road drainage system would be undertaken. The Chairman expressed the Parish Council's thanks to Harry Pettifor for his hard work on this matter.
Police: The new Chief Constable had indicated that, as from 27 November, a new approach to the use of resources would be adopted. In some cases, this meant that there would be no police response where it was considered that nothing could be achieved. He was strongly opposed to this change because he considered that it would send out the wrong message to the public. He urged the Parish Council to protest against this change as and when it was given official notification.
District Councillor: No report
Police Matters: Ian Mitchell reported that there had an incident in Approach Road involving the theft of a 10 ft lamp standard valued at £1000.
Biggin Hill Airport: Nothing to report.
Transport matters: Nothing to report.

8. Council Aims & Objectives
Parish Appraisal: Following the recent informal discussion over the Countryside Agency's Vital Villages Programme, the Chairman indicated that the general view was that, as it was some 8 years since the last Appraisal, it was time for another comprehensive appraisal to be undertaken. This would not necessarily be undertaken by the Parish Council but it was felt that the first step was register an intention to produce a Parish Plan by completing the Countryside Agency's Form VVPP1. This was agreed unanimously and the Clerk was requested to proceed accordingly.
Our Countryside – Rural White Paper: The Clerk indicated that he had just received from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) a consultation paper on the establishment of "quality" parish councils. A response was required by 31 January 2002. Copies of the Consultation Paper were available for all members. It was agreed that the matter would be placed on the agenda for the next meeting.
L-shaped Field Committee: Nothing to report.

9. Notified Items
SCC Formation of Area Committees: The Clerk confirmed that he had written to Surrey CC indicating the Parish Council's views on the matter as follows:-
that decisions would be based on better information;
that final decisions would be expedited;
that an opportunity should be afforded for parish councils to comment upon the programme for the year ahead;
that there should be consultation where there was a direct interest;
that there should be representation on sub-groups
that there should be a right of reply.
East Surrey Parishes Liaison Group: The Clerk had circulated a copy of a suggested reply to the letter from Godstone Parish Council as to the future of this Group. This reply was agreed and the Clerk was instructed to send it. It was also agreed that the Chairman and Ian Mitchell would attend the forthcoming meeting to speak on the Parish Council's behalf. The agenda also contained an item concerning the ability of District Councillors to comment on local matters. This had been placed on the agenda at the request of the Parish Council and the Council's representatives would also have to speak on this matter.
Code of Conduct: The Clerk had circulated to members a memorandum setting out the Government proposals and the implications for the Parish Council and individual members. These were noted. The Clerk reported that the Code came into effect on 6 November and distributed Guidance leaflets issued by the Standards Board.
Allowances for Members: The Clerk confirmed that he replied to the SCAPTC consultation indicating that the Parish Council was in agreement with the payment of participation allowances but felt that these should only apply to "larger" councils and that it supported the proposals for travel and subsistence allowances.

10. Village Hall
Building Project Committee: Bob David reported that the Architect had indicated that the Green Room was continuing to dry out and it appeared that the recent work had been successful. The Architect intended to request Shaws to return and test the dampness. If this was in order, the main Contractor would return to rebuild the Green Room. The Architect had also indicated that he considered that the boiler noise was at an acceptable level and, as no objections had been received, he did not propose to take any further action.
Management Committee: Bob David reported that the recent Halloween Party had raised £690 and as a consequence a commercial dishwasher had been purchased. The Hall would be closed over Christmas while redecoration took place.
Review of Constitution: The Clerk reported that he had received a detailed reply from the Management Committee. As this had only been delivered to him on the preceding Saturday, he had not an opportunity to consider it in detail. He had distributed copies of the reply and its enclosures to members. After discussion, it was agreed
That the Clerk should send a copy of the reply and the enclosures to the Honorary Solicitor for SCAPTC and ask him to advise the Parish Council as to the acceptability of the suggested amendments;
That, on receipt of a reply, the Clerk should circulate members with a copy, and
That a meeting of members should then be arranged to discuss the matter.

11. Property & Land Maintenance
Property:
Surgery & Parish Room: The Chairman indicated the Architect had made certain suggestions to cope with the excess water flowing down the side of the building. He had endeavoured to arrange for the matter to be dealt with but, as yet, had been unable to find a firm willing to undertake the work.
(b) Land:
Tatsfield in Bloom: Bob David had circulated to all members a revised financial report indicating that the net contribution by the Parish Council would be £671 after payment of certain items including £360 for winter pansies and £161.61 for bulbs. This compared with the report given at the last meeting indicating that the agreed contribution to TIB had been overspent by just £16, not allowing for pansies and bulbs. As a consequence, the Parish Council had, at the previous meeting, agreed an additional grant of £275 as a contribution to the cost of the bulbs and pansies. In the light of the corrected figures the additional contribution would only amount to £171 and this was agreed.
Pond: The Clerk indicated that Cornhill Insurance insisted on its revised requirements (concerning the pond in icy conditions) being complied with. SCAPTC had now replied indicating that it considered that the Parish Council would have to abide by the conditions imposed by the Insurance Company. The Chairman had therefore authorised the Clerk to obtain estimates for two signs at an estimated cost of £50 per sign or £65 per sign if vandal proof laminate was used. It was agreed to proceed with the vandal proof signs but the Clerk was asked to enquire from AON Ltd if its requirements would be the same.

David Wood indicated that the Council had already taken the matter up with the Club and it was therefore decided that no action should be taken.
