This Business Plan is for a collaborative programme of work between West Berkshire

Council and the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT)

to deliver management for nine countryside sites (see Appendix 2 and 3a).

These sites collectively provide an invaluable area of open-air access for people who

live, work and visit West Berkshire. Of the 1,185ha of land, 1,060ha (89%) have full

public access on foot (either under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 or in

the case of Greenham Common through byelaws reflecting the Open Access Land

provisions of that Act). They include significant areas of international, national and

local importance for biodiversity.
