14.114 Recently, two churches (Church of England & Methodist) in Englefield Green have<br />

merged and become St Judes United Church, with the unused Englefield Green<br />

Methodist Church converted to a village centre with a number of community facilities<br />

(Revd Sue Loveday, coordinator of Churches Together in Surrey).<br />

14.115 As communities becomes more diverse there is a need for sufficient buildings to allow<br />

for people of various faiths and ethnic backgrounds to worship locally.<br />

Local <strong>Plan</strong><br />

14.116 Strategic Policy SP04 seeks to secure the retention of existing community<br />

infrastructure that meets local needs, unless it can be demonstrated that alternative<br />

provision can be made as part of development proposals, or the loss of any facility can<br />

be fully justified.<br />

Future provision<br />

14.117 There have been a number of noteworthy planning approvals in the <strong>Borough</strong> in recent<br />

years relating to places of worship. These are detailed as follows:<br />

existing hall at Community Hall, 96 Woodham Lane & Land at All Saints<br />

• An extension was granted to the Surrey Muslim Centre, Albert Road,<br />

Addlestone in 2008 to provide a washroom, toilet and cold room for storage<br />

construction).<br />

• Erection of 2 storey Church Centre at St John the Baptist Church, High<br />
