New Fast Track Planning Application Service to be launched by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council
From 1 April 2024, applicants submitting certain planning applications in Epsom & Ewell will be able to choose to ‘fast track’ their application.
Developed to meet customer demands, the new optional service will be helpful to applicants who have a builder waiting to start work, or who need building work to start or finish by a certain date. Applicants will be able to pay to have their planning applications determined more quickly than the statutory eight-week period.
The types of applications that can be fast-tracked are:
- Householder Applications – for instance, those required for extending homes e.g. building a single storey rear extension, or front porch.
- Certificate of Lawful Development Proposed (Householder) – an application to show that the work you are proposing to do to a house is a ‘permitted development’ and therefore doesn’t need a formal application. Sometimes you will need a certificate of this nature when you sell a house.
The fast-track fee is £350 for a Householder Application and £150 for a Lawful Development Certificate and is paid to the council, in addition to the usual cost of submitting a planning application.
Councillor Steve McCormick, Chair of the Licensing and Planning Committee, said,
“We are incredibly proud of our Planning department who in the last year, have overcome significant challenges to go from being one of 10 UK council teams performing below an expected threshold of 70% for minor/other applications, to well exceeding national targets. It is brilliant that Epsom & Ewell Borough Council can now facilitate a service which will meet an obvious need for many residents wishing to progress building projects within the borough.
“I hope that this will ease stress for many people working to tight timelines for their builds.”
Applicants can learn more about the service and apply by visiting the council’s dedicated webpage: Fast Track Service | Epsom and Ewell Borough Council (epsom-ewell.gov.uk)

FAQs
Why has EEBC partnered with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA)?
The project is part of a nationwide investment by the UK Government and LTA Tennis Foundation, delivered by the LTA, to refurbish public tennis courts across Great Britain, and open up the sport to many more people. This investment will see thousands of existing park tennis courts in poor or unplayable condition brought back to life for the benefit of communities across the country through renovation works, and improved court accessibility with new gate-access technology and booking systems.
Why do people need to pay to use the courts?
It is important that park tennis courts are sustainable and money can be set aside for repair and maintenance, to ensure courts do not fall into disrepair in the years ahead, and are available for generations to come. All income generated will be going back into the improvement of the facilities with a priority of improving the courts at Gibraltar Recreation Ground and Poole Road Recreation Ground first.
Why has gate access technology been installed?
Evidence from sites across the country is that installing gate access technology actually increases participation, as people can book a court online in advance, and know it will definitely be available when they arrive. It also means that free tennis sessions and coaching can be scheduled on the courts at specific times. Gate access technology also helps reduce anti-social behaviour and vandalism.
What help is there for those on a low income to participate?
Families on low income benefits can claim a 50% discount on an annual subscription. There will also be free, weekly coaching sessions arranged for all ages, playing levels and experience where equipment is provided, meaning that people will not need someone to play with or even their own racket.

Specsavers Surrey Youth Games come to Epsom & Ewell
The Specsavers Surrey Youth Games is back! Following on from the success of the games last year, a wide range of activities are available in Epsom & Ewell again, including tennis, judo, swimming and more. The Games are the largest multi-sport youth programme of their kind in the South East, offering free local training for 7-16 year olds across Surrey, leading to a final celebratory event for the whole family.
The Games are ideal for beginners who may not get the opportunity to attend clubs or are put off by the thought of competing against others. Supportive coaches will help participants join in, have fun, learn new skills and boost their confidence.
Registration is now open for the free training sessions which start after Easter and are aimed at those who live or go to school in the borough. Following the training, teams can unite for a family-friendly event at the Surrey Sports Park in Guildford on Saturday 15 June.
Councillor Clive Woodbridge, Chair of the Community and Wellbeing Committee, said “I’m so pleased that we are running the Specsavers Surrey Youth Games in Epsom & Ewell again this year. The initiative provides a fantastic opportunity for young people who are still building their confidence in sport to access training free of charge.
“I hope that everyone in our borough will take a look at what’s on offer and even tell friends and family about the initiative, so that we can ensure that as many children as possible can access the training.”

Innovative new programme helps families experiencing barriers to sports participation
Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, in partnership with leisure operator and social enterprise GLL, has secured an award from Sport England, funded by the National Lottery, for an innovative new swimming programme which started in February. The scheme is aimed at residents experiencing barriers to sports and leisure participation, including families who have moved to the borough as refugees and families on low incomes.
50 people enrolled on the course which involved small, group swimming lessons at Rainbow Leisure Centre in Epsom. Participants were referred to the course by partners.
Epsom & Ewell Borough Council and GLL are contributing additional funds and resource so that participants aged four to eleven can continue weekly swimming lessons until 31 May 2024.
Families, including those taking part in the swimming programme and others, have also been offered three months of subsidised access to Rainbow Leisure Centre, to help them increase activity levels and build positive habits.
Councillor Clive Woodbridge, Chair of the Community and Wellbeing Committee, said;
“Swimming can be a lot of fun and is fantastic exercise; but it is also a vital and potentially even life-saving skill.
"In addition to swimming, residents who take part in this scheme will be able to access facilities such as football pitches, basketball courts, badminton courts, and the gym, more easily.
"Our vision at Epsom & Ewell Borough Council is that all our residents can keep healthy and active, with easy access to health and wellbeing services. We are delighted that this award will help us work towards fulfilling that vision, particularly for residents who may not have been able to access these leisure services before.”
David Hughes, GLL partnership manager for Epsom & Ewell GLL added:
“The physical and mental health benefits that swimming can offer are well documented and this new programme has been designed to reach groups that may not otherwise have had access to local swimming provision.
“The feedback we have received from participating families has been phenomenal. The tailored support our expert swimming teachers have offered, has helped participants to build confidence, improved their water skills and really enjoy their time in the water.”

Do you have a property to let?
Epsom and Ewell Borough Council are currently looking to take on 3 and 4 bedroom properties under its Private Sector Leasing (PSL) scheme.
The council operates a very successful PSL scheme that’s allow us to help local families in housing need whilst reducing the risks and hassle of renting for landlords. Under the PSL scheme: -
- The council lease and manage your property for a period of three to five years
- You receive a guaranteed rent, paid 6 months advance
- No void periods or costs
- We manage your property and let it to local people in housing need
- We carry out minor repairs up to the value of £500 per year
- At the end of the agreement, we return the property to you in the same condition (minus fair wear and tear) as when the agreement started.
The benefits for landlords are:
- The council manage your property
- A single point of contact within the council
- No inventory costs and regular property inspections
- Right to Rent checks carried by the council
- No need to register deposits with TDP schemes
- No letting agent or management fees
- Routine and major repairs can be undertaken on landlords’ behalf for a fee.
There are also benefits for families and the local community. Local families benefit as we are able to provide good quality, temporary housing in the local area. The community sees empty properties brought back into to use
At the moment, alternative accommodation is often located out of the borough. This can be disruptive to home life, work and school at an already stressful time for families.
The council has had great success with our Private Sector Leasing scheme, and we are currently looking to expand the scheme. We are especially looking to take on more 3 and 4 bedroom family properties.
If you are interested in working with us, please contact housing@epsom-ewell.gov.uk.
For full details of the scheme and a landlords information pack, please visit https://www.epsom-ewell.gov.uk/residents/housing/do-you-have-property-let/private-sector-leasing-scheme.
Preventing fraud among housing register and homelessness applicants
In March 2023, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council procured Reigate & Banstead fraud department to undertake financial checks on housing register and homelessness applicants.
Between March and December last year:
- 287 checks for potential fraud have been conducted.
- 30 positive outcomes have been recorded where an applicant(s) has been denied assistance, or withdrawn a request for assistance, following a request for further information and/or evidence.
- Saved £113,000 as a result of the fraud prevention work
Case study
A benefit claimant was found to have over £100,000 in an account, in addition to undeclared earnings as a result of a failure to declare a change of employment.
A Crown Court Restraint Order was obtained to freeze the sum of £16,981.62 benefit overpayment, which the claimant has now paid back in full to the Council.
The claimant has also withdrawn their housing register application.

The Epsom & Ewell Local Plan: what you need to know
We have created a new FAQ area of our website to give the public as much information as possible about the development of the borough’s Local Plan.
The Local Plan is a critical document in shaping the future of the borough. It covers a wide range of issues from creating jobs, environmental protection and leisure development, to sites for new homes and much-needed infrastructure improvements.
We are following the government’s framework for developing a Local Plan, and no decisions have been made on policy wording or site selection for the Local Plan at this stage. We are currently reviewing feedback received during the public consultation on the first draft of the Plan, and gathering further detailed evidence to help develop the Plan.
Once the evidence base is developed and complete, a recommendation will come to the Licensing and Planning Policy Committee (LPPC) on a proposed Plan that will include site allocations. LPPC will then make a recommendation to Full Council, and it is only at this stage that a council decision on the Local Plan will be made, which will then go forward to another six-week public consultation. This is expected to be in early 2025. The next version of the Local Plan will include a consultation statement which provides a summary of the main issues raised during the Draft Local Plan (Regulation 18) consultation, and how they have been taken into account.
Councillor Steven McCormick, Chair of the Licensing & Planning Policy Committee, said:
“The development of our Local Plan is as complex as it is vital. We want to make sure that all those who live in, work in and visit the borough have access to the latest information about the Local Plan, to ensure that they are informed and to dispel rumours and myths about the Plan. We encourage everyone to take a look at the FAQs, either on our website or by coming in to the Town Hall and asking for a copy at reception.”
The Local Plan FAQs can be found on our website at: www.epsom-ewell.gov.uk/local-plan-faqs.
Members of the public can sign up to receive an alert for future consultations by completing the form at https://epsom-ewell.inconsult.uk/(link is external).
Changes to our grants policy to help more disabled and vulnerable residents
We have revised our Private Sector Housing Grants Assistance Policy, so that more disabled and vulnerable residents will benefit from grant funding than before.
The Policy sets out how we provide financial assistance so that residents can remain independent at home for as long as possible, through adaptations and improvements to their homes. The support provided is extremely varied, from fitting level access showers, stairlifts, ramps, grab rails or wheelchair accessible extensions, to remedying health and safety risks associated with items such as heating, electrical wiring and plumbing.
The most significant changes are as follows:
- The eligibility criteria have been widened, and the means test requirements have been made more flexible.
- A more versatile approach to the application process and required forms.
- Access to the service has been improved to include self-referral forms via our website.
- The maximum discretionary grant level has been increased, to allow for increased costs in the construction industry and in response to the more complex needs of some residents.
- Cases can be treated on a more individual basis with a wider range of assistance available and more flexible eligibility criteria.
- Assistance is now available to those living with a terminal illness or dementia.
- Accessible housing grants will meet a rising need in the housing market for disabled people who are either homeless or need to move to a more suitable property.
- The introduction of a prevention grant to provide simple measures to ensure that elderly, vulnerable or disabled residents can occupy their homes safely and reduce the likelihood of developing ill-health.
Cllr Clive Woodbridge, Chair of the Community and Wellbeing Committee, said: “It is a priority of this council to improve the lives of our residents. Housing that isn’t fit for purpose can have a significantly detrimental impact on vulnerable, older and disabled people, and can contribute to immobility, social exclusion, ill health and depression.
“Our Private Sector Housing Grants Assistance Policy helps people to live with greater independence in secure, safe, well-maintained, warm and suitable housing.
“I am pleased that the changes to policy that were unanimously approved by the committee in October, will help more of our most vulnerable residents.”

Remember your voter ID
With the Police and Crime Commissioner elections taking place on 2 May 2024 and a general election scheduled for some time this year, making sure you have valid photo ID is extremely important.
In the UK, you are now legally required to show photo ID when voting at a polling station at elections. So don't miss out on your chance to vote.
Which forms of ID can I use to vote?
You may already have a form of photo ID that is acceptable. You can use any of the following:
- Passport
- Driving licence (including provisional license)
- Blue badge
- Certain concessionary travel cards
- Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
- Biometric Immigration document
- Defence identity card
- Certain national identity cards
You will only need to show one form of photo ID, but it needs to be the original version and not a photocopy. The name on your ID must be the same name you used to register to vote.
For more information, including the full list of accepted forms of photo ID, visit electoralcommission.org.uk/voterID or call their helpline on 0800 328 0280.
If you don’t have an accepted form of photo ID
If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID, or you’re not sure whether your photo ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate. You can apply for this at voter-authority-certificate.service.gov.uk.
Alternatively, you can contact Electoral Services for a paper application form.
The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate for use at a particular election is 5pm, 6 working days before the date of that election.
MMR vaccine: Be wise and immunise
Cases of measles are rising across England, including among children. It's an infection that spreads very easily and for some people can cause serious problems. The uptake of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination programme in the UK has fallen to the lowest level in a decade, including across Surrey. There is a high risk that outbreaks of measles will be seen in unvaccinated individuals and communities in Surrey over the coming months.
There's no specific medical treatment for measles, so it's important to get vaccinated as it's the best protection against measles. Two doses of the MMR vaccine give 99% protection against measles.
Children are offered a vaccine free on the NHS at 12-months-old and then a second dose when they turn 3-years-and-4-months-old, but it is never too late to catch up. The MMR vaccine is free on the NHS, whatever your age. If anyone has missed one or both doses of the MMR vaccine, contact your GP practice to book an appointment.
Find out more on the NHS website.
