BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

  • Chipstead to Kingswood Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Chipstead to Kingswood walk Ancient woodland, open downs and farmland in London's Green Belt Length Main Walk: 15½ km (9.6 miles). Three hours 55 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 7½ hours. Circular Walk, returning to Chipstead: 13¾ km (8.5 miles). Three hours 25 minutes walking time. Short Walk, omitting loop to Mugswell: 11 km (6.8 miles). Two hours 45 minutes walking time. Short Circular Walk, omitting Mugswell: 9¼ km (5.7 miles). Two hours 15 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 146. Chipstead, map reference TQ276583, is in Surrey, 6 km S of Sutton. Toughness 5 out of 10 (4 for the Circular Walk, 3 for the Short Walks). Features Just outside the London boundary, this undulating walk takes in a varied landscape of ancient woodland, open downs and farmland. You will have plenty of company in the popular recreational areas of Banstead Wood and Chipstead Downs, but few dog- walkers venture across the railway into the network of footpaths, horse rides and quiet lanes which make up the walk's middle section. Near the start the main route follows a substantial part of the Banstead Woods Nature Trail, with panels along the trail highlighting the diversity of species. This ancient woodland was an important source of compass timber until the mid-19thC: large curved or crooked pieces of oak artificially shaped to make specialised sections for the wooden naval ships of that era. More recently the trunks of felled trees have been utilised by a local tree artist to create a series of sculptures illustrating the CS Lewis Narnia books.

  • Log for 2019
    Log for 2019 December Monday 30th : Clear the Cobwebs ride - Photos 15 Bikes joined Ride Leader Peter Ostinelli for the last ride of the season (and blessed with dry and sunny weather) which went mostly well as unfortunately half missed the drop off and made their own way down to Brighton, joining us about half an hour later! The ride back was good with all 15 bikes keeping together!! My thanks go to the backmarkers: Dell Evans, Chris Doody, Paul Cutler and Mark Halliday. All in all a very enjoyable ride. Saturday 21st : Carols and Mince Pies @ GH-D - Photos A lovely way to end the 2019 singing carols accompanied by Wavy Davey, eating mince pies and chatting with friends. So a big thank you to everyone who turned up as we managed to raise £161 for Chapter charities. Thursday 5th - Club Night @ GH-D - Photos 1 | 2 A festive Club Night at the Dealership as we approach the end of the year. There was a fashion show, refreshments supplied by GH-D, singing with Wavy Davey (and guests!) plus news of additional events happening in January and February next year. November Saturday 30th - LoH to Winchester Christmas Market - Photos Saturday 30th - Santa Run - Photos Saturday 23rd - End of Season Party - Photos 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 What a brilliant night and with 145 tickets sold, we definitely needed the bigger venue and the Hilton Cobham was perfect. The theme this year was "The Movies" and what a fantastic array of costumes: the Mad Hatter, Beetle Juice, Popeye and Olive to mention just a few what an excellent effort by everyone that attended.

The house is just over about half a mile level walk to the shops and Chipstead Station. Picturesque Chipstead village lies within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surprisingly close to the southern boundary of Greater London. It is, however, far from suburban and comprising largely open countryside, the area is much sought after for its combination of great convenience and rural tranquillity. Although somewhat spread out, Chipstead offers most of the classic features expected of a country village, with a beautiful Norman church, a pretty village pond, a community hall, a village green, a pub/restaurant and amateur theatre. Apart from local convenience shopping available at Banstead, Tadworth and Coulsdon a wider range of shopping, leisure and cultural activities may be found at Epsom, Reigate and of course London itself which is within easy reach. The area benefits from good communications with easy access to the main A217 and A23 routes as well as the M25 junction at Reigate for the airports and the national motorway network. Middlefield Close has a choice of 3 local train stations providing frequent services to London Victoria and London Bridge, with the fastest being from Coulsdon South, about a 5 minute drive away with a journey time of just about 21 minutes to London Bridge.
