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 />
