Planning Extension & AGM Date

Dear Members, an update to let you know that the date to be able to submit comments - objections or otherwise -  has been extended to Friday 9th February. 

Also the next Annual General Meeting for the Bishop's Meadow Trust will be held on  Saturday 2nd March at 11am. 


Planning Application Link

This is in relation to the planning application for the demolition and rebuilding of the British Car Auctions office block, now housing the temporary offices for Phillis Tuckwell, on the north side of the Bishop’s Meadows.

There are now a number of responses on the site and we encourage members to look at the proposed plans, specifically the views of the south elevation of the building, so you can gain an impression of what it will look like from the meadows. 

Due to public and Farnham Town Council letters, the latest resubmitted landscape plans show that McCarthy and Stone have taken away the proposal of a gate on the Bishop’s Meadows.

We wanted to make you aware of the revised date as you still have the opportunity to respond if you wish to do so.

Annual General Meeting 

Our AGM will be on Saturday 2nd March at 11am. All members are very welcome, so please do come along to learn about what has been happening over the past year and to share your views about future plans for the Meadow. We're grateful to our members for the continued support in preserving this unique & ancient piece of land in central Farnham.

You need to be a member to be able to attend the AGM.

To become a member of the Trust you simply need to make a donation. This is very easily done through the Enthuse platform which you can access by clicking HERE. You are able to set the amount and the frequency. Every donation is hugely appreciated. We receive no public funding. Every single donation helps us to be able to do the work we do. The more we raise from our members' subscriptions the safer the future of the Meadow is.

If you are unsure about your membership status and would like to check what it is please do not hesitate to email info@bishopsmeadowtrust.com and we can check this for you. 

We look forward to welcoming you in March to share what has been happening over the past year and to share views about future plans for the Meadow. 

This will be hosted at space2grow; the project that sits adjacent to the Meadows. 

To get to space2grow, at the end of Lower Church Lane, just off Downing Street Central Farnham, go up the steps into St. Andrew's church yard. Keeping the Church on your right, walk across the path to the South West corner where you will find a narrow path leading round a corner between two brick walls, sign posted to the Bishop's Meadow. At the end of the path you'll find a large wooden door which is the entrance to space2grow.
