Preservation Group

Welcome to
Woodhatch Green Spaces  Preservation Group

We are a local community group, formed by local volunteers, who all share a passion to protect and preserve local green spaces in Woodhatch. We work closely with the local council (Reigate and Banstead Borough Council), offer opportunities to volunteer, and deliver projects that aim to improve and enhance local green spaces for the enjoyment of the community.

About us

We originally formed in November 2020, in response to Reigate and Banstead Borough Council application to build a crematorium on New Pond Farm, a highly valued and well used countryside site. Our members reviewed and responded to the planning application. The application was REFUSED by Reigate and Banstead Planning Committee on 29 September 2021 (See News for further information). Our members believe the whole site should continue to serve the community as it is, providing the opportunity for informal recreation, the opportunity to grow your own produce and enjoy access to the countryside and associated health benefits.
