A small, self-contained parish
Hascombe has its own civil parish despite its modest size, with a population that has stayed in the low hundreds for some time, set within the Surrey Hills National Landscape.
A wooded, hilly setting
The village sits among wooded hills and greensand ridges typical of this part of Surrey, giving it a noticeably more secluded feel than the larger villages closer to Cranleigh itself.
Council
Hascombe Parish Council handles local matters, with Waverley Borough Council responsible for the planning and building control decisions that affect the wider parish.
