The council meeting primarily focused on a planning application for the conversion of Station House into a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). The application was eventually approved, despite concerns about parking and noise.

Decision: Approval of Planning Application 20024 0118 The application sought to convert Station House into a 10-room HMO. Objectors raised concerns about increased parking stress and potential noise issues. Proponents argued the location's sustainability near public transport and the need for affordable housing. The council approved the application, citing the building's sustainable location and previous inspector decisions that found no harm in similar schemes. This decision supports the council's ongoing efforts to increase affordable housing stock but continues to highlight community concerns about parking enforcement and safety.

Additional Information: The meeting underscored ongoing issues with parking enforcement, particularly the responsibilities of Network Rail and Surrey County Council, which were noted but not directly addressed in the council's decision-making process. The council expressed a commitment to affordable housing and efficient use of existing buildings, balancing these priorities against local concerns.
