PEASLAKE COMMUNITY COUNCIL
Peaslake Cemetery Fence Appeal
The Parochial Church Council has decided to install oak pallisade fencing. Sufficient funds have been raised to cover the cost. We await news of an installation date.
A huge thank you to the residents of Peaslake who raised the bulk of the funds for the replacement fence.
Peaslake Farm and Flooding
News update on a development on Peaslake Farm.
A new bid has been made to build affordable homes on the site. The plan is for 10 homes and will require statutory consultation with the local authority Flood Risk Team.

Flood Resilience Site Meeting with SCC.
Surrey County Council Flood and Resilience Team visited Peaslake on 3 April for a site visit. The visit covered Peaslake Farm, the natural drainage system (stream) that runs down Ewhurst Road, under the Village Centre and through Peaslake Lane properties; and the walking Bottom drainage channel behind Pond Lane Car park.
They made recommendations for improving flood mitigation.
Informally they questioned any housing development on Peaslake Farmyard because of the topography of the site.
They noted how well residents maintained the drainage channel running through gardens in Peaslake Lane.
A copy of the meeting report is here.
Peaslake Flooding
POND LANE CAR PARK
Shere Parish Council have approved resurfacing of Pond Lane Car Park with a new permeable surface. It is a big project and a welcome investment in Peaslake. Resurfacing will mean an end to potholes while improving permeability.
PEASLAKE COMMUNITY GARDEN
With help from volunteers, Peaslake Community Garden trustees have planted an Orchard of various fruit trees.
A gate leading from a footpath is being installed to enable access from the Hurtwood.
The next step is to secure funds for creating veg boxes.
It is wonderful to see this project really taking off!
