‘Public Engagement at Reading Golf Club’ . . . 11 February 2020
Thank you to everyone who attended the ‘Public Engagement’ at Reading Golf Club and for making your feelings known. We expect you agree that the outlined plans for 250 homes on the whole of the land within Reading Borough were far and beyond anything that would be remotely acceptable.
This was evident when listening to local residents’ outrage as they discussed the plans with representatives from Reading Golf Club, Fairfax Acquisitions, Redrow Homes and a number of their consultants.
For those of you who weren’t able to make it to the ‘Public Engagement’ we will be sending out details of the plan along with our comments over the next couple of weeks so please look out for them. We will also be updating our website.
In the meantime, if you would like to see a plan of the proposed development CLICK HERE
We will be back with more information very soon. If you have any comments about the planned development, please send us an email or comment on our Facebook page.

Local MP opposes Golf Club development plans
Matt Rodda MP has said he is strongly opposed to development on Reading Golf Club. He has asked local residents to help him demonstrate the strength of opinion against development by completing a survey he has sent out. He says: “Building a large housing estate could take several years and is likely to lead to severe disruption nearby, due to noise, lorry movements and loss of trees and wildlife”.
He adds that Reading council have “identified enough brownfield land for almost all the housing needed in the borough until 2035 and as a result I believe there is no need to develop the golf course”
