Frequently Asked Questions
1. I like the field just as it is. What are you planning to use the Meadow for? How can we be sure that it won't be
developed as a park or changed in some other way?
We have acquired the Meadow (apart from the north strip which remains in the ownership of Sunningdale) so that it
can never be developed and the village can continue to use it as they have always done for informal recreation.
There are no plans to change it.
​
2. Can I be sure that the Trust will never sell the Meadow for development?
The Trust has been set up to secure the Meadow against any future development. That will never change.
