Planning and Local Context on the Wentworth Estate
Wentworth sits within Virginia Water, in the borough of Runnymede, so planning applications are decided by Runnymede Borough Council. The estate is private: its roads and its scheme of restrictive covenants are administered by the Wentworth Estate Roads Committee, which was established under a private Act of Parliament. Estate consent runs alongside planning permission rather than replacing it, and a project needs to satisfy both.
The estate is characterised by large detached houses set in wooded plots laid out around the golf courses, with much of the surrounding land designated Metropolitan Green Belt. Substantial remodelling and replacement dwellings are common, which makes accurate measurement of the existing building and a proper understanding of the tree cover the first practical steps. Our Virginia Water page covers the wider village context.
Where we work
Villages and neighbourhoods around Wentworth
Wentworth is a private estate, and that changes the process. Alongside the planning application there is an estate approval to satisfy, and the two run on different timetables.

Local planning notes
Estate covenants on Wentworth can be stricter than the planning rules, particularly on height, materials and the position of a building on its plot. We normally test a design against both before anything is submitted.
What we are asked for here
Wentworth Architects: Common Questions
Do I need estate approval as well as planning permission at Wentworth?
In most cases yes. Properties on the Wentworth Estate are subject to private restrictive covenants administered by the Wentworth Estate Roads Committee, and that approval process sits alongside planning permission from Runnymede Borough Council. The two look at different things, so it is worth understanding the covenants that apply to your title before the design is fixed. We coordinate drawings and information for both routes.
Which council decides planning applications at Wentworth?
Runnymede Borough Council. Applications are assessed against its local plan, along with national policy on the Green Belt where the site is designated. The statutory determination period for a householder application is eight weeks from validation, and thirteen weeks for a major application. A paid pre-application enquiry is often worthwhile given the scale of many schemes here.
Can I replace an existing house on the estate with a larger one?
Where the plot is in the Green Belt, national policy requires that a replacement dwelling is not materially larger than the one it replaces, judged on volume and bulk rather than internal floor area alone. Outside the Green Belt the assessment turns on local plan policy about character, scale and plot coverage. Either way, the honest answer depends on the measured size of what is already there, which is why we survey before we design.
How do trees affect building work at Wentworth?
Tree cover is a defining feature of the estate and many trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders, so consent is needed before pruning or felling. Councils normally expect a tree survey and root protection areas to be shown on the drawings where works are near trees, and the position of protected trees frequently determines the footprint, the access route and the location of the site compound during construction.
