all about the PRA
The Pixham Residents Association was formed in 2009 with the idea of enhancing our local environment and strengthening our community through encouragement of joint activities. As well as putting on successful social events, such as the Pixham Summer Fete, monthly coffee mornings and pop-up pubs, we have initiated a number of community projects, campaigned to make Old Pixham School a community centre, others are in the pipeline.

PROPOSED SALE OF THE DEPOT AND ADJOINING FIELD, PIXHAM
The Depot is directly opposite Old Pixham School: the field is to the north and the area west of the red line belongs to Thames Water, separated from the river and the Treatment Works by a wide bank.
Mole Valley District Council want to auction these areas. They plan to market them as separate lots to sell at the same time, in June, to the highest bidder(s) and will set a reserve of £500,000. If The Depot doesn’t reach the reserve they won’t auction the field.
The proposed sale will be considered at the next Scrutiny Committee meeting on Tuesday March 7th; if passed, the proposal will go to the MVDC Cabinet meeting on March 21st for approval. That allows them 3 months for marketing which will be widespread; they have some London auction houses in mind.
There are various issues associated with these proposals which will concern residents, and the PRA is taking action to raise these with MVDC - for full details of the site, PRA action and how to respond click here.

Development of Aviva site
Stonegate have submitted plans for conversion of the current office blocks on the Aviva site to apartments, and for construction of housing and community facilities on the rest of the site.
Our summaries of the two submissions, together with links to the full documentation on the MVDC website can be seen by clicking here for the office block developments and here for the housing.
NB. These summaries have been prepared by the PRA, and to the best of our knowledge are an accurate representation of the plans. They are provided for information only
