Bridleway 413
Unfortunately, after a considerable amount of work, our second application for “Awards for All” Lottery funding to reinstate this bridleway was rejected. All is not lost, as we're now applying for funding from the Community Foundation for Surrey.
Whitmoor Common
The Surrey Wildlife Trust hope to replace the bridge on the Summer Ride and to obtain funding to resurface a boggy section of the track by the bridge. Some trees will also be cleared in the immediate area. The WDBA are in communication with Surrey County Council (SCC) regarding Bridleway 423 on Rickford Common and have offered to help fund the resurfacing of this track.
Brookwood Farm Country Park
CALA Homes proposes to create a new country park as part of a housing scheme at Brookwood Farm, which runs parallel with the A322, from the Basingstoke Canal northwards. Around 19 acres will be taken up with housing, while the proposed Country Park will cover more than 140 acres. The Country Park will link up with Sheets Heath, which is used by many horse riders. I attended a consultation event in September and reiterated the WDBA's wish that horse riders be allowed into this new park. I also asked that, if this was approved, the WDBA be consulted on the style and positioning of horse gates. The consultation period has now ended and the plan as a whole will go before Woking Borough Council's planning committee sometime in 2012.
Pirbright Heathland Restoration Scheme
Guildford Borough Council is proposing to clear large areas of woodland on Pirbright Common, Bullswater Common and land adjoining Dawney Hill to restore heathland. Large areas of heathland will be fenced, to allow grazing. The WDBA has consulted with Guildford Borough Council about these proposals, and has asked that we be involved in choosing the design and position of horse gates. |
