Cobham Heritage Trust invites you to help celebrate people — past and present — who have shaped our village. Every few months, we plan to have banners on the High Street which will feature local “Greats”, with links to their stories.
Cobham, Downside and Stoke D’Abernon have been home to remarkable people through the centuries. We’re highlighting those who were born, lived, worked here, or made a lasting impact.
Voting for the first ten Cobham Greats has now closed. Those who have already voted, will be entered into the draw on the Cobham Heritage Trust stand in Church Street at One Summer’s Day on the 28th June with a prize of a meal for a family of four at Pizza Express in Cobham. The winner will be contacted after the draw.
Thank you for all those who took part, publication of the top ten Cobham Greats will be in the autumn.
Chippings Farm is located to the north of Cobham and sits between the Portsmouth Road (A307), the A3 Esher Bypass and extends south-west from the Fairmile a 17th century coaching inn. 625 homes are planned to be built on this Greenbelt land.
Cala Homes and Burhill Group Limited (BGL) have opened a Public Consultation which closes on the 31st of July 2026. As part of the consultation there will be an exhibition to enable the public to learn more about the proposed development and to provide feedback. Further details can be found on the developers website at chippingsfarmconsultation.co.uk/
Cobham Heritage members may have received emails with incorrect details of the exhibition, for which we apologise. The details shown below are the confirmed and correct details.
We encourage everyone to attend the exhibition as we expect this development of 625 homes to have a major impact on this part of Cobham.
This is the third development recently proposed in our area, which if approved, will increase the number of homes across Cobham, Stoke D'abernon and Oxshott by 1,125 homes, this is in addition to the Wisley Airfield development of 1,730 homes which is already being built. The Oxshott, Clouds Hill development for 250 homes has already been given planning approval. All of these developments will increase the number of residents and traffic in our area by a significant amount and place further pressure on our local infrastructure.
