Welcome to FEDORA – The Voice for Oxshott.

We are a not-for-profit company run by local residents who are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of life in our village and its surrounding areas.  Our focus is on initiatives to do with planning, roads, flooding and a “green” Oxshott as well as supporting litter picking, community speed watch and other local activities. We are totally non-sectarian and non-political, and seek to represent the whole of Oxshott. You can read more about our company here.

We have been fortunate in Oxshott to be surrounded by high-quality Green Belt land. However, current government housing targets and Grey Belt policy now put that Green Belt at risk of development.
FEDORA would now like your views on how it should best represent the interests of the residents of Oxshott in the light of these new circumstances.

PLEASE CLICK ON THIS LINK Fedora-green-belt-survey.pdf to access the Green Belt Questionnaire.

Or if you prefer to input your comments on an MS Word document, please click:  Fedora-green-belt-survey.docx

Then complete the questionnaire, scan it and submit it to greenbelt@fedora.org.uk or drop it off at FEDORA’s registered office: 6 Northcote Park Oxshott, KT22 OHL. It is also planned that there will also be a further meeting for the community in the first half of May

Listed below are some of the successes in 2024:-

The Village

• Successfully persuaded the Boundary Commission not to drop reference to the settlement name of Oxshott in its review of Surrey CC ward boundaries

Planning

• The most recent draft of Elmbridge Borough Council’s Design Code recognises Oxshott as a separate settlement
• FEDORA’s views on densities (expressed by reference to floor area rather than the dwellings per hectare) have been taken on board by Elmbridge Borough Council

Roads

• 20 mph speed restriction introduced on A244 through the village
• 40 mph speed restrictions on Fairoak Lane
• The introduction of experimental night-time ban on HGVs on A244
• Parking revised in the centre of the village
• New signage to make Sandy Lane safer
• Improved pedestrian access along the “straight” part of Sandy Lane, but still another 8 sections identified

Green Oxshott

• Trees and hedge along the A244 outside Broom Hall financed and organised by Surrey CC
• CIL for Esher Public Bridleway 49 and Esher Public Footpath 51 – funding found from Elmbridge Borough Council and Surrey County Council as well as FEDORA. The work on the Bridleway and Path has just been completed.
