  • Bledlow-Cum-Saunderton Neighbourhood Development Plan Report of the Community Infrastructure Task Group 1
    Bledlow-cum-Saunderton Neighbourhood Development Plan Report of the Community Infrastructure Task Group 1. Introduction 1.1 The Community Infrastructure Task Group (CITG) was set up by the Bledlow-cum-Saunderton Neighbourhood Plan Working Group (WG) in December 2015. Its initial work programme was focused around the following questions: How do we prevent the loss of valued community facilities? What are these crucial assets? What are the infrastructure priorities on which CIL funds should be targeted? At the outset of the CITG’s work there was an understanding that the quantum of development on the former Molins factory site would be at the upper end of the spectrum and generate significant CIL funds. As it has become clear that such a scale of development opposed by Wycombe District Council’s (WDC) appeal case it has been necessary to amend the remit of the CITG to identify infrastructure priorities where PC funds (including and in addition to CIL) might be spent. 1.2 The CITG was composed of local residents all of whom, by virtue of being either long-standing residents of the Parish or through their roles in various local organisations, have demonstrated a competency to undertake the work of the CITG. During the work of the Task Group the following Stakeholders have been contacted directly in order to seek their input into the output of the Task Group and into this report.

    point your feet on a new path Bledlow Beechwoods and Bledda’s Rest Distance: 16 km=10 miles moderate walking Region: Chilterns Date written: 2-sep-2010 Author: Phegophilos Date revised: 27-aug-2018 Refreshments: Bledlow, Bennett End Last update: 17-nov-2020 Maps: Explorer 181 (Chiltern Hills North), Explorer 171 (Chiltern Hills West) (hopefully not needed) Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Village, woodland, nature reserves, hills, views In Brief This truly unforgettable walk shows you all that is best in the Chiltern Hills. You go through great beechwoods, along valleys and over the Bledlow Ridge with terrific views. The walk begins and ends in a snug Chiltern village which holds its own surprises. The village has one of the iconic pubs of the Chilterns (to enquire at the Lions of Bledlow , ring 01844-343345). Along the way, you can stop at the Boot in the Ridge (ring 01494-481499). You also pass one of the great foodie pubs (see text), requiring long advance booking. This walk is a tribute to Raymond Hugh’s Adventurous Walks books, since it follows the same route as one of his walks. These books are out of print but still possibly available by mail order and the other nine walks are also a pleasure to do. There are only a few nettles on this walk and sensible shoes should be adequate in dry weather.

Maps of both areas can be seen below, and data will be specified as to what area it represents: 2 Overview Bledlow-cum-Saunderton is a large rural parish (total size 2,716.55 hectares) in the north western corner of the District and includes the villages of Bledlow (part of the village is a Conservation Area – see map), Bledlow Ridge and part of Saunderton. The parish has lower-lying land to the north with some of it liable to flooding. The southern part of the parish is within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (30% or 808 hectares) and the Green Belt (47% or 1,281 hectares). The central area of the Parish is particularly rich in ancient history with 14 Scheduled Ancient Monuments. The Princes Risborough and Chinnor Railway (steam and diesel) passes through the village of Bledlow. In addition to a network of public footpaths, the Ridgeway long distance footpath and the Thame to Princes Risborough Cycle Route (the Phoenix Way) traverse the Parish.
