November 2025: The consultation period is now over; thank you to everyone who submitted a response.

More information will be available in the coming months.

The Parish Council has agreed to lead a group to produce a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) and the project is called “Eastcombe, Bisley, Oakridge 2030″.

There is now a dedicated website on which you will find information regarding the NP process, the progress we have made to date, information on the various focus groups, as well as facilities to allow you to comment, make suggestions, and help us move forward.

Initial public meetings have now been held and reviews of feedback are being done and we will be contacting residents again soon. The current expectation is for the project to take about two years.
