Peaslake Farm Fields

Following Friends of the Hurtwood decision to remove their proposal for the management of Peaslake Farm Fields, the council has reiterated, that it’s intent is to protect the fields
from building for the foreseeable future and there is no change from that long term view.
With regards to usage of the fields, the council is consulting Surrey Wildlife Trust regarding increasing biodiversity by using Biodiversity Net Gain Credits, considering a lease from a local farmer for grazing and
will happily consider community lead schemes – all will be consider at our 5th July meeting.
The questionnaire which has been circulated by the Peaslake Community Council is not an ‘official’ Parish wide questionnaire, but a local initiative seeking views.
