Alice Servaes, on behalf of Feathercombe Farm, has asked the village website team to post notice of impending works to install a new polo pony exercise track and arena, so that residents are aware of lorry movements during construction.
Planning permission has been granted after due consultation and it is expected that work will begin on the site, accessed off Feathercombe Lane, on or around April 14th. The project is expected to take between six to eight weeks and all vehicles will arrive from the Milford direction and will not drive through the village.
Lorry traffic is expected to be at its greatest several weeks in to the construction, when drainage and surfacing work will be taking place. Alice said she plans to keep residents informed of progress using the village WhatsApp group.
The arena requires no new buildings, fencing or other visible construction and the landscape should appear unchanged once work is completed.
The Surrey Hills AONB and Surrey Wildlife Trust have been involved in discussions with Feathercombe Farm and Alice said: “We will be putting some more hedges in at some point as well as trees. We really want to try and encourage the birdlife and all wildlife as much as possible.”
Please the plan below.

Many in Hambledon were greatly saddened to hear of the death of one of the village’s most popular and respected residents, Norman Gravestock.
Norman, who was still very much involved in community activities until well into his nineties, died a few weeks ago and his family have asked for his funeral details to be made public.
The service will take place at St Peter’s Church at 11am on Monday 9th of December.
Norman will be remembered fondly, especially for his involvement with Oakhurst National Trust cottage and for his knowledge of all things Hambledon, brought to life with his presentations at the village hall. He remained active until the last, taking part in the weekly Bridge nights at the Merry Harriers until the week of his death.
