Following acceptance of the Application, we have continued to engage with Interested Parties on the contents of their representations, with a view to increasing areas of common ground through the examination process. In its Relevant Representation [RR-026] and Local Impact Report [REP1-112], Buckinghamshire Council identified the opportunity to provide a “missing link” between two existing bridleways to enhance connectivity within the Order Limits for equestrian users.

As a result, we are seeking to make a formal change to the Application to include a bridleway link (‘the Proposed Change’), which would be accessible to the public during the operation (including maintenance) phase of the Proposed Development.

Linked is a plan which shows the proposed location of the bridleway link, which is located entirely within the Order Limits. The bridleway link would connect the existing dead-end bridleway ECL/10/5 to the north of Field D27 to bridleway QUA/40/2 and QUA/40/3 which runs along the southern edge of Fields D28 and D29.

The total length of the bridleway link would be approximately 0.9 km long, and would follow the proposed internal access track through Field D27 and then PRoW Footpath (reference ‘QUA/41/1’) through Field D28.

Due to the minor nature of the Proposed Change, we do not consider that it constitutes a material change to the Proposed Development which was the subject of the Application. We also consider that the Proposed Change would not give rise to any new or materially different significant environmental effects.

We confirm that there are no changes to the nature of the powers sought over land, but we will amend documents supporting the Application as required to facilitate the Proposed Change.

To make this change, we need to formally request to make a change to the Application to the Examining Authority, so that it can decide whether to accept the request into the examination.

Prior to doing this, we are consulting with relevant stakeholders, including the host authority, parish councils and land interests where the Proposed Change is located, on the Proposed Change between Wednesday 6 May 2026 and 11:59pm on Thursday 4 June 2026.
