Ham & Petersham Neighbourhood Forum

15/02/2024

Ham Polo Club has appealed to the Planning Inspectorate at Bristol for its application 21/2454/FUL to create a winter polo arena with wooden fencing and new surfacing, which was refused by Richmond Council last year.

I spoke against the application due to the negative impact it would have on Ham House, Melancholy Walk and the view up to Star & Garter, as well as the noise from the games and traffic impacts.
