FELLOW RESIDENTS!
ARE YOU AWARE THAT….
The present owners of Wentworth Golf Club have submitted a
planning application RU.14/0869 for the erection of a Hotel to provide 56
additional guestrooms, four conference rooms, roof garden, together with
associated plant? It is displayed on the Runnymede Planning website under the
planning application in a document named; ”Statement of Community
Involvement”. In it the Club claims that
they have informed and discussed this Hotel development with the residents
before submitting their application. This is clearly not the case as the residents report they have not been
informed. The Club has been very remiss as the construction of this hotel will hugely
impact on us. Whether you agree with a hotel development or not, we should be consulted on such a major
change to the character of the Estate. We understand, and the Club has failed to deny
that they have marketed to potential new owners that they could build the Hotel
and possibly redevelop the current Executive Course with housing, further
increasing the density of houses on the Estate and change the character of the
Estate forever.
DO
YOU BELIEVE YOU SHOULD HAVE A SAY IN WHAT HAPPENS ON THE ESTATE?
Previous owners of Wentworth Club have attempted further development
on this green belt land and have historically been blocked by the residents. The
current Wentworth Residents Association (WRA) have failed in their duty to
inform and seek the views of the residents. Mr. Julian Small, the CEO of the
Club, is on the committee of the WRA and if he or the committee had any regard
for the residents, the perfect forum of communication is through the WRA. Currently
we have no voice in what happens to our Estate. We feel strongly that we have
been badly let down and have been by both the WRA and the WREC and we are being
ignored by the Club. We must have a say in what happens on our Estate and we
would ask you to join the WRA and vote to ensure you are properly represented.
We urge you to object to this application today and force the Club
to withdraw the application and begin consultations with the residents as they
should have done in the first instance.
Please visit http://wentworthestateresidents.tumblr.com/# for information and

Note that only after a Petition was signed by many residents
requesting an Emergency Special General Meeting did the WRA today schedule a
meeting to take place on Thursday 14 August at 7 PM at the Wentworth Club. Please attend this meeting and if you cannot
attend then please consider signing the enclosed proxy allowing someone of your choice to vote for you at the
meeting.
Act today! Submit
your Objection to Runnymede. Attend the
Emergency Special Meeting of the
WRA. Become a voting member of the WRA by
paying £25. For further information please email fellow resident Mr Kirill Klip
k.klip@btinternet.com and with your
consent, he will blind copy you on emails for future communication.
