High Street Royal Mail Postal Service Update
As part of the imminent works at Site 2 (the old Post Office), Royal Mail has reviewed local postal provision and confirmed that the existing High Street post box will be removed rather than relocated.
Importantly, this reflects the strong postal service already available within Oxshott Village Store, where the main postal sack collection point is located, and where residents can continue to post regular letters and parcels conveniently. With the majority of local post that is posted on the High Street already handled through the store, Royal Mail considers this the most effective long-term arrangement for the village, as the High Street post box was near enough empty the majority of the time.
Therefore, from Sunday 17th May, Oxshott Village Store will remain the central location for all letter and parcel posting services. The store continues to play an important role within the community, providing not only postal services but also a wide range of everyday products and support for local residents.
April Regeneration Update
The regeneration project continues to progress to expected timelines and all with zero to minimal disruption. Below are the two main updates for the month of April:
Site 1:
In the coming weeks, Site 1 will reach a major milestone as the building becomes fully watertight, with roofing works completed. The image above shows the progress that is being made at the site. This confirms that Wolsey House Group are still firmly on schedule, with works progressing smoothly and causing zero to minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
Site 2:
Initial behind the scenes progress is also being made on Site 2. The site requires nine pre-commencement planning conditions prior to demolition of the previous building. These are now in their final stages, and Wolsey House Group are currently awaiting confirmation from Surrey County Council to proceed.
March Regeneration Update: Work at Site 2 Soon to Begin
The regeneration of our High Street continues to make excellent progress, thanks to the Wolsey House Group team and their efficient strategy.
At Site 1, next to Munch & Wiggles, construction remains fully on track, with Wolsey House Group still working toward completion for this Summer. Many residents will have noticed a visible milestone in recent weeks, as the existing roof structure has now been removed. This marks a significant stage in the redevelopment process and clears the way for the installation of the new roofing, which the community will see very soon. As this work progresses, the building will begin to take on its new form, bringing the regeneration project on to the next phase.
Equally as exciting is the news that work will soon begin on Site 2, the old Post Office. This is set to begin next month and represents the next major phase of the regeneration programme. The redevelopment of Site 2 will mark another positive step in shaping the future of the project.
A huge aspect of the project so far has been the careful approach taken by Wolsey House Group’s team to minimise disruption. Many residents have commented that, despite the significant work taking place, they hadn’t actually noticed, as the disruption has been zero to minimal. This has been very much by design, as mentioned in our previous update. The Wolsey House group team has prioritised a construction strategy that allows for excellent progress behind the scenes, whilst ensuring the High Street is minimally affected if at all.
We are pleased to confirm once again that all timelines and expectations are currently being met, which reflects the careful planning and collaboration that has gone into the project, with the community.
February Regeneration Update: Site 1 Construction Work Continues
Work on the first phase of the regeneration (Site 1, adjacent to Munch & Wiggles) is continuing to move forward with excellent progress.
From the outset, the Wolsey House Group team has worked with the village in mind, carefully planning each stage to ensure zero to minimal disruption to the High Street. The work has been so minimally disruptive, that a number of residents have remarked that they did not realise work had begun.
Since starting last year, construction has progressed steadily from the rear of the site towards the front, and we’re pleased to share that roof works are now underway. The project remains on schedule, with milestones being met as anticipated.
January 2026 Regeneration Update
Wolsey House Construction are making fantastic progress at Site 1 next to Munch & Wiggles. Their strategic plan, as promised to the community, to work from the rear of the site to the front is ensuring zero to minimal disruption on the High Street.
Discreet though the work may be, this is intentional, and the team are making extremely positive progress, with timelines being met and despite some adverse weather conditions, no delays so far. The first three months of construction have been a great success. In to 2026 the construction team go, with the goal still aimed for completion end of Summer this year.
Regeneration of Oxshott High Street Reaches Major Milestone
The final planning stage of the Oxshott High Street regeneration project has taken an important step forward. Revised planning permission for the former Post Office site at 49–50 High Street was approved last night, following a presentation to councillors by James Davis at the committee hearing. The hearing can be viewed via the link below. You can also view the hearing confirming approval for Oxshott Village Sports Club's two new padel tennis courts.

Meanwhile, work on Site 1 (next to Munch and Wiggles) continues to progress smoothly. We extend our thanks to Wolsey House Construction, whose team has maintained excellent communication, minimised disruption wherever possible, and carried out much of the work from the rear of the building to reduce impact on the High Street, which has so far been very successful and kept the progress consistent and quick, yet discreet.
Now three months into the build, Site 1 remains on schedule and is advancing in line with the project team’s planned timeline.
