Welcome

Welcome to the website of Hinchley Wood Residents Association, your local representative organisation working on behalf of the local community since 1932.

We work in partnership with Thames Ditton and Weston Green Residents’ Association to ensure that the interests of residents in Hinchley Wood and Weston Green Ward are fully represented on Elmbridge Borough Council.  We are an independent party on the Council, cooperating with the Elmbridge Residents Group.

Under the Local Government Reorganisation, Hinchley Wood will form a new ward together with Long Ditton and Weston Green. This ward will be one 36 in the newly formed unitary authority of East Surrey. In the election on 7 May 2026 the successful candidates were Fran Fish (Liberal Democrat) and Neil Houston (Liberal Democrat). They will take up their positions as councillors for the ward of Long Ditton, Hinchley Wood and Weston Green in April 2027. 
 

Meeting to discuss proposed development by Heathside

We have scheduled a special meeting on Wednesday 5th August at 7pm to discuss a proposed development of 56 houses on the Green Belt land behind Heathside, KT10 9TF. 

This is a well-used horse field and local residents would like to keep it that way. You can see the details of the proposed development on the Elmbridge planning portal under reference 2026/0577. 

This is just one of a number of potential developments on the Green Belt surrounding Hinchley Wood and our neighbours in Claygate and Long Ditton. 

Please join the meeting on 5 Aug, which will be held in St Christopher's Church Hall on Claygate Lane, if you would like to find out more about these developments, how they will impact us, and how you can influence them.
