Society for the Protection of Ascot and its Environs. The Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale area is surrounded by Green Belt and regulated by the Berkshire Structure Plan and the Borough's Local Plans but it is constantly under constant threat. Planning applications are on the increase again. Most of them are just run-of-the-mill extensions and replacements. But some threaten to destroy the character of the area and must be stopped.

SPAE was formed in 1971 to protect the Green Belt and the character of the Ascot area. We monitor all planning applications in the area and comment in detail wherever necessary. We are represented at many public inquiries and, if the developers go to Appeal, we make representations to the Secretary of State for the Environment. We are your watchdog in monitoring all planning applications, policy documents and council planning meetings. Our officers are happy to give advice on planning matters. We realise that even minor applications can concern neighbours.

Join SPAE to protect the area - £5 per house. Over 1,300 local people and most residents' groups already belong. With your help, we can speak with an even more powerful voice.

For full details, see the website www.spae.org or call SPAE chairman Rodney Stubblefield on 01344 620375.
