Section 16 of the Commons Act 2006 Proposed deregistration of common land at: WESTFIELD COMMON

SN (CL 121)   NEWLANE LEISURE LIMITED have applied to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under section 16 of the Commons Act 2006 for land forming part of the above-mentioned registered common land (the “release land”) to cease to be so registered.  The Planning Inspectorate will decide the application on behalf of the Secretary of State.   The purpose of this application is to enable, in relation to outline planning application ref. PLAN/2026/0042, the creation of (i) a raise boardwalk through the wooded area of the Common Land acting as anew footway and cycleway; (ii) a new pedestrian and cycle access to serve new facilities; (iii) one new vehicular access to serve the development and (iv) the widening of two existing vehicular accesses currently serving the golf course.   The works will be located in the western section of the Westfield Common Land, north and east of the existing Sutton Green Golf Club. The proposed works will create new accesses to accommodate the proposed development at Sutton Green Golf Club (also known as “Stonehouse Park”). The proposed works will create a new pedestrian / cycle access from Westfield Road into the northern part of the site via a boardwalk and a further pedestrian / cycle access in the northeast from New Lane. Vehicular accesses are proposed from New Lane, comprising one new multi-modal access and the enhancement of two existing access points currently serving the golf course, each incorporating improved pedestrian and cycle infrastructure.   It is proposed that land (the “replacement land”) be registered as common land in place of the release land.   The release land is described in the First Schedule to this notice, and the replacement land is described in the Second Schedule. A copy of the application form and accompanying documents can be inspected at Woking Library, Gloucester Walk, Woking GU21 6EP during normal office hours until 11 December 2026.  A copy of the application may be obtained by writing to lhirrien@iceniprojects.com or by post:
