FORESTERS PUB LOST

Thursday 23 October 2025

Planning Permission granted for change of use and conversion to flats

My thanks to for all who got involved trying to save the Forester's Arms in Egham. Due to a number of objections, the Foresters Arms Planning Application for change of use and conversion to flats went before the Full Planning Committee on Wednesday 22nd October 2025. After a lengthy discussion, the application was approved by 8 votes to 4 against, with 1 abstention. Our thanks in particular to Local Councillor Isabel Mullens (Egham Residents) who argued strongly against application on grounds of retaining as a Community Asset and other matters, supported by Councillor Robert King (Labour Egham Hythe) and Cai Parry (Labour Chertsey). So another pub bites the dust.
