We were astonished to find out that Cala Homes have applied to Waverley to remove the pre commencement Grampian style condition on the Amlets Lane application in favour of a post development condition.
Please Object to the removal of this condition on the Waverley planning portal.

Cala Homes want to get rid of the condition that states that the upgrades to the sewage network are required ‘prior to commencement’ and change it to ‘prior to occupation’.
Not surprisingly they are saying that talks with Thames Water and the County Council are “LONG TERM” and they don’t want this to hold up their development.
We have been saying to Waverley for some time that the upgrades to the sewage works and the problems with low flow rates Cranleigh Waters are long term (over 5 years) and need addressing.
Take a look at some of our previous articles:
CRANLEIGH WATERS POLLUTION FEARS MOUNT
NO MORE SEWAGE IN CRANLEIGH WATERS!
CRANLEIGH SEWAGE – THE PLOT THICKENS!
If this is approved it sets a precedent for other applications in Cranleigh and ultimately means that properties will be built and left vacant until upgrade works are completed.
Waverley cannot even be certain at this stage whether Cranleigh Waters, which stops flowing now at times during the year, can actually accommodate the current level of sewage and the results of trials by Thames Water are unknown and will not be available until sometime in 2017.
It would be irresponsible for Waverley to remove this condition at this time, please let them know you object.
