You may know by now that Taylor Wimpey (TW) are planning to build 450 new homes in Tongham on GREEN land behind the Hogs Back Brewery.
Tongham has had its fair share of new build developments over the last few years and the time has come to oppose any further developments to protect the integrity and identity of our community and village! Indeed the recent developments at Admiral Park has delivered no infrastructure benefits to our village, despite developers’ promises in the planning application stages. Please follow the link above to keep up to date with the latest news. All assitance is welcome, perhaps you could help by delivering leaflets or raising awareness with your neighbours.

Tongham is a small (but fast-growing) village with a real community feel about it and is classed as a civil parish. We come under Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council. From the population abstracts from 1811 until its evolution into a parish the settlement was a rural one large enough in size to be official classed as a statistically recordable hamlet. Tongham’s now dismantled railway with a station was important for transporting materials to build the new military camp of Aldershot from 1856 until 1870 and the row of shops developed from this line. Tongham was originally part of the parish of Seale and Tongham and Seale continued to be linked as Parishes until the first meeting of Tongham Parish Council at 6.30 pm on Monday 21st May 1984. Seale then became Seale and Sands Parish Council. Tongham Church was completed in 1865.
