The sport of Polo is very popular in the South East of England with centres at Cowdray Park, Midhurst and Guards Polo Club at Windsor. Whilst those are two of the best known competition venues patrons of the sport have their own training facilities. This brings us up against significant landscape issues in the National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Clients have been steadily developing their own facilities over the years and the Practice has been instrumental in achieving permissions for the Marquis of Milford Haven at his Great Trippetts Estate. We are currently working with another polo playing client in developing new private facilities at his estate in West Sussex.

The projects we have been involved with to date include:

A polo manege - success after two planning appeals and two court hearings. The manege is primarily an exercise area but also allows practice for arena and snow polo.

Two new exercise tracks, one was around the manege previously referred to and the other was a new track for exercising polo ponies.

New stable yard comprising a further 44 loose boxes, tack rooms, tractor shed, automatic horse walker and bronco building.

New and improved estate roads and equine tracks to assist the movement of vehicles within the estate and keep them off the public highway and to provide dedicated tracks for moving polo ponies.
