Why build scaffolding around nothing? They are not trying to support
buildings, but have built a huge scaffold for no real reason.

Any ideas?

This is just a guess, but the OS map shows power lines crossing the A3
just west of the hotel. Is the scaffolding beneath these power lines?
If so then there's some maintenance going on on the pylons and the
scaffold is related to this.

Indeed you will see the scaffolding under the wires by the A3, at Copsham
Lane (between the A3 & Esher) and near Fairoak Lane (Malden Rushett).
The national grid substation is in Fairoak Lane.
Where the wires run alongside the A3 they look lower than normal, it could
be that thay are going to be replaced.
