It was originally a grouping of working class hamlets, Cores End, Eghams Green, Upper Bourne End and Well End. The coming of the railway in 1854 carried with it the seeds of change as the station was located in the fields between the small communities and the Bourne End that is known today developed around the centre and encompassed the older hamlets. The ward of Bourne End - cum - Hedsor currently has a population of approximately 5,500. There are excellent transport links with frequent

  • 5.4 Bourne End and Wooburn
    Wycombe District Local Plan Local Plan – Regulation 19 Version October 2017 5.4 Bourne End and Wooburn 5.4.1 Bourne End and Wooburn lie at the south east end of the River Wye as it joins the Thames. Bourne End has a bustling village centre with good local amenities and there are significant areas for local business making it an important local centre for jobs. The proximity of the Thames is an attraction but also raises concerns about flood risk, as does the River Wye. The area is surrounded by the Green Belt but not Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but the landscape is also important, particularly the hillsides overlooking the valley that provide an important setting to the villages. There are traffic congestion issues through the village and at Cookham Bridge. 5.4.2 The Sustainable Communities Strategy seeks to ensure that the Wye Valley including Bourne End and Wooburn retains its character and reputation as an attractive, vibrant and accessible place and that through careful stewardship the River Thames continues to attract many visitors. 5.4.3 Bourne End and Wooburn Parish Council has applied to be designated as a Neighbourhood Area. Any neighbourhood plan has to be in conformity with the Development Plan. 5.4.4 Neighbourhood Plans can allocate sites. However, two sites are allocated in this Local Plan. This is because they are strategic in nature. The sites BE1 (Slate Meadow) and BE2 (Hollands Farm) make an important contribution to the District’s housing supply. They also contribute to providing key open space and educational requirements for the wider area.
