This report recommends an easement across Epsom Common be granted by the Council to UK Power Networks (UKPN).

The Committee agreed to grant authority to the Chief Legal Officer and Head of Property and Regeneration to engage with UKPN, agree heads of terms and final from of easement and progress the matter to completion.

The Committee received a report that recommended that the Council grant an easement across Epsom Common to UK Power Networks (UKPN) to facilitate the maintenance of the power lines under the Common. This was in the interests of the Council as the Deed of Easement would contain the necessary provisions to ensure that any risk associated with the maintenance of these power lines affecting the management of the Common would be mitigated.

Accordingly, the Committee agreed to grant authority to the Chief Legal Officer and Head of Property and Regeneration to engage with UKPN, agree heads of terms and final form of the easement and progress the matter to completion.
