The existing Surgery was built in 1979 when the number of patients was under 4,000. Since 1979 the number of residents in Oxshott has more than doubled and is still growing. The expected number of patients for the surgery in 2025 is over 8,500.

The current building is only 253 sqm and cannot cope with the current capacity & patient throughput. Some medical services have been moved to overflow facilities more remote from the Oxshott village. The provision of additional services such as Community social care, medical health services or diagnostic facilities have been curtailed.

The building has not been upgraded since the original build and is not fit for the purpose of providing the NHS medical services and secondary care required today & in the future.

There is little capacity to upgrade to the technology required & expected of a modern practice.

The Oxshott Village Trust is proposing a new building that is specifically designed & built for a modern medical practice.

The building will be two stories totalling 560 sqm on a footprint of 280 sqm. Effectively over twice the size of the current facility.

There will be consulting & treatment rooms to cater for 10,000 patients with the technology infrastructure installed to cater for modern patient treatment needs.

The building will be aesthetically pleasing & in keeping with the surrounding buildings. There will be the provision of 20 dedicated parking spaces for patient & medical staff use.

Of utmost importance will be the environmentally compliant build so that net zero & BREEAM excellence will be achieved.

Planning for the new surgery has been submitted to Elmbridge Borough Council and we await validation before the drawings are available on EBC website. Preview drawings are on display in the main halls lobby and can be viewed whenever the hall is open.
